The brass press-on handle on my Taig Carriage Wheel has worked itself loose (see how I blame the machine for breaking itself!)
I see my options as
1) replace - not very "machinist" approach;
2) Loc-Tite - see above;
3) Drill and tap for a brass bolt to hold a spinning handle. (I am thinking bolt through a brass spinner, then lock nut, then into a tapped wheel.)
(What is the difference between a bolt and a machine screw?)
Does anyone have any recommendations for size, etc. (bolt diameter and length, handle length/diameter) or another option I haven't thought of?
Thanks!
