Good Inexpensive Handles

These little handles are inexpensive and make small jigs easier to make. The body is tall and narrow if you need to sink it for some reason. Large radius knobs are better for loosening, but aren't really designed for applications where this might be an issue. More expensive pens have more solid construction, but these do a good job for the price.

Pros
  • Won't Crack, Brittle or Discolor
Cons
  • Ugly Packaging

Innovative Components 1.38 " Star Knob

These innovative AN4C-5S221 1.38" Star Knobs work great on my Thumlers brass cup as a replacement for their standard wing nut combo and a Washer that is sometimes present is unwieldy. At first I thought they were too big for the handle diameter to clear the mounting bracket and drive rollers. They are a good size for my toggle switches as they have 1/4-20 threads. Be aware if you plan to use this or any other 1/4-20 knob on an Extreme Rebel 17 toggle switch, they will not work as the Rebel is…

Pros
  • Modern satin textured finish Scratch and stain resistant
Cons
  • Small Things

These are great knobs

I used these on a fine stop jig I made for a cheap router table (see photos). This is an improved version of the wing nuts I started with and are much better and more than suitable for this purpose. I need to make 3 more mounts for a project I'm about to start, so I'll probably order another set or two. I find the small size very versatile. It fits very comfortably in the 1½" x 2¼" metal bracket I used, leaving enough room for your fingers to make easy adjustments. With this tool I can adjust…

Pros
  • A popular choice with smooth lines and finger spacing for easy turning
Cons
  • Slightly wrinkled
