    A lathe handwheel is a great addition to any lathe. Such a facility has a use beyond manual threading.

    Fitting a handle to it to provide good leverage, it's the preferred way to dislodge a stuck screw-on chuck. Far safer for the lathe than locking the backgears, a practice that can break teeth from the bull gear.
