I need this handle or knob, not sure what to call it.
Or I would like two that match.

It is for locking the table from moving side to side on an Acra Mill.

The thread is 5/16-24

the whole thing looks like this.

There is a strange thread into the mill table, it is 1/2-12
Thanks in advance for pointing me in the right direction

Have you tried calling Acra? 909-899-3000

BP clones are often quite different than BPs where parts aren't interchangeable. Like that same part, found them for BPs but the thread is 5/16-18. Acras are usually made in Taiwain & the imperial threads confirm that. Much of the Taiwan made machinery that I've ran into use imperial threads rather than metric as one might think.
 
Are you absolutely sure it is a 5/16-24? From your pic is looks like a 5/16-18, and if it is a 5/16-18 I have two that I will let go cheap. $10 plus shipping. If you are interested, drop me an e-mail at kweimer@who.rr.com Mine is just a tad longer at 3.200 though instead of 2.750
