Re: Moving my "new" Grizzly G1006

If you go to "grizzly parts" and get to that page and enter g1006 for the model is has an exploded view and a parts list.
They have a replacement handwheel, part 401V2 ($35.40) which is plastic and seems to have replaced part 401 which is likely metal and likely the handwheel remaining on your machine.? If so, you could get two plastic ones to have a "matched set".? Or have one of each.? Or if the remaining one is already plastic, then just get the one.? Might be hard to find a metal replacement, but there likely is something, somewhere..
You will also need one part 436 ($8.95) which is the little handle that affixes to the handwheel.
If it were mine, I would get the replacement handwheel and handle (or perhaps two if that was what was needed to make everything match) to get the machine back to "normal" so it is in a better configuration if I ever wanted to sell it.
On large mills, I find myself using both handwheels, but the right one far more often.? I find myself using the left one when the table is moved pretty far right so that I am closer to where the cutting action is (to observe) instead of being far away at the far end of an extended table or having to reach way over to get to a handwheel not in easy reach.
If you can find or fashion a power feed attachment for the handle-less end, you might enjoy it.? Grizzly shows parts for it, but it seems you can a replacement the motor for $503 which sounds like a punishing price and I can't imagine what an entire assembly would cost - IF they had it for sale.? Grizzly shows the entire power feed assembly as discontinued which seems to be this part number:? P1126231 - *DISCD*POWER FEED ASSEMBLY AL-200S V1 Charles E. "Chuck" Kinzer

Using a handle on left or right of the table is pretty much a matter of convenience. Are you left or right handed, and where do you like to stand when using the mill?? Big mills have two to minimize the amount of walking from one side to the other if the work is not centered on the table.? Just loosen the set screw and move your handle if needed, but you really don't need two on a mill this size.
