New Bolt for Lathe Spindle Control Lever

I have been making improvements to my 12”x37” geared-head gap bed lathe requiring removing the lathe spindle control lever before removing and adjusting the carriage lead screw. Originally the lever was assembled with a roll pin and later using a cotter pin. I replaced the cotter pin with a custom bolt and jam nut combination in order to make the disassembly and assembly much easier. The 0.208” dia. by 2.25” long custom bolt is threaded 10-32 and the jam nuts are a combination of a knurled cylindrical nut and a hexagonal nut. All parts are made from 12L14 steel.

Thanks Paul! I've added your Lathe Spindle Control Lever Bolt to our Lathe Accessories category, as well as to your builder page: Paul Jones' Homemade Tools. Your receipt:

Agree with you DIYer, but, forgive my ignorance, what means TLC ?

TLC = "Tender Loving Care"
