I received my 7X14 from Big Dog Metal Works and began to get it cleaned and setup. As part of the setup, I decided to use threadlocker on the speed handles of all of the handwheels. Worked like a charm on all except the plastic carriage wheel. It destroyed the plastic aroung the imbedded nut.
Needless to say, this decided what my first project would be.
I used hot glue to temporarily rebuild the plastic handwheel.
Then I turned a new aluminum handwheel and speed handle, which is sooo much better.
Now I can do some real work.
