Handle replacement, for old style knob handle.

[Ken S]

Good thoughts.

I am relatively new to the new handle style. I will keep an open mind and see how I feel after using both for a longer period.

Another option is to modify the older style to accept an O ring by matching the taper of the bore of the new jigs. My plan is to make a scraper from a hacksaw blade.  This would give the convenience of the O ring and the security of the locking screw.

I took a careful look at the handles  (adjustable stops), old and new. The new style can easily be adapted, if desired, to having a locking screw. It's an easy fix by just drilling and tapping a hole in the handle. A home shop machinist could do this without breaking a sweat.

The official locking screw costs $7.95. (M6 thread, 6mm outside diameter x 1mm pitch) For those of us not fluent in metric, 1/4" x 20 tip is close.

I neither recommend nor not recommend this fix.
