Bristol Locking Handles

[sooty]

Hi anyone know where I can buy some Heavy Duty 6mm Bristol locking Handles for my Perform CCL Lathe.

I get through the ones Axminster supply at a fair rate of knots (regardless how carefully I tighten them) they only seem to last a couple of months before I round them off which makes them useless

Alternatively give Axminster a ring and tell you what you need. They do some heavy duty ones which are much stronger. I had the same problem.

Won't they be to big for the CCL I am sure the last time I ordered any they were M6

That is the handle i got from Axminster to replace the ones on my Perform CCBL and they were M10.They are a much stronger handle and might need cutting down.
Axminster did send M6 out but they were too small,and this was after checking with their technical dept.
So wether they are different size threads on each machine i can't say.

I am after a 4mm Bristol locking lever. I have checked the above posts, not applicable. I want it for a QR for my Hegner scroll saw.

Whats a QR
Have yoi tried Hegner themselves :?:

 

[Mike Wingate]

A Quick Release lever for the top blade clamp. For quick and easy blade threading. Hegner do a large wheel knob device that is cumbersome. I have found http://www.jencan.com/
But have not received a reply yet.

Doesn't help with M4 (start at M5) but ComDir is pretty good value for these generally

Hi,

Your covered for suppliers, the one thing I've found that has happened to the ones on my lathe is dust, will work down round the inside of the handle and in time stop them seating, I find a good clean out and they work fine, or has this only happen for me..

Regards. David...

I have not had any problem with mine. I have them on the lathe, drill, sanders and on plenty pf jigs. My technician regularly strips his, and replaces the plastic body ones with metal bodied. Still no response from Jencan, but I live in hope.
