I have a Drill press with a cross slide that has a broken handle on one side. I have looked just about everywhere i can think of and have yet to find a source.

It measures approximately 3" across, C to C and has a Female hex. The male hex on the shaft measures about .355 across the flats. I would prefer a metal one that won't break ;ike the plastic one did.
Even one with a round hole could be used with set screws and bushed down if needed. I know I can buy a replacement vise but hate to throw things away that are otherwise usable
.
Thanks in Advance
Tim

Do you know the make/model? otherwise the search is very broad for a replacement...

a simple way to fix that would be to take a piece of flat stock the width of the handle base.
cut to your desired length, and round the ends over to your desired shape.
drill the center hole to the size needed to "lightly" tap/press over the hex of the screw thread.
drill and tap the appropriate size threads needed to lock the handle to the hex.
use a common allen bolt [1/2 x 13 x ??? long maybe ?] of a comfortable length to use as a handle.
drill and tap the [handle] end of the bar stock for the allen bolt threads.
cut a piece of pipe to fit loosely over your "handle" and thread the allen bolt into the end of the flat stock until the threads bottom out on the flat stock and the pipe spins freely. some blue locktite is a good idea. cut off the threads sticking past the flat stock.
position the flat stock over the hex, tap into position and retain with the original screw shaft nut and the additional set screws.
done.

i've made handles like this many times for many applications, due to needing them and not having the time to wait for a replacement handle, or a replacement not being available at all.
this sounds way more complicated than it is, but is a very simple thing to make, even if one just has a few tools at his disposal. [hacksaw, drill press, tap and die set, a grinder of some sort]
hope this helps.

A 6pt 9mm hex socket on a reversible Dewalt battery powered impact should deal with your "time" problem. biggrin


Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.
