I need to make on, my Craftsman drill press handle has been cracked for a while.
I'll get around to it eventually, when I stop wasting so much time online :lol:

crazypj Your a funny, you make me :lol:

Hi Captain !
You will certainly laugh ... I have made one out of wood also :-)
But not for the same purpose. For some particular jobs, I use an extended table that overlaps the vertical pole of the drillpress and thus the initial crank hits the table. So I made a smaller one, in a wheel shape, it is also easier to setup small displacements.
I have to take a picture.
Thanks for this one !
Christophe, the wooden version of the captain.

Hi Christophe, Yes I am laughing out loud :lol: :clapping: :lol: Lets see the picture......:O)

That's a nicely machined crank.

Thanks Al. :O)

Very nice looking handle So good looks like it came with the drill press again nice jib.

Hi Vernon, Thanks for the kudos. :O)

Looks much better than the crude handle that came with my old drill press. Making one will be a fun project. Thanks for the inspiration and photos.
