I believe Sherline knobs fit 1/4" shafts, you might find used
ones on Ebay if someone has upgraded to ones with adjustable
scales.? Replacement knobs are available from Sherline or Taig for
cross slide, but have not researched prices.

There have been discussions/comments about difficulties aligning
the head vertically.? The attached photo shows my current attempt
to handle this.? It is based on the use of what are generally
called a "flange support for linear guide rail 25mm" which can be
found online and at Ebay.? I use 3 of these brackets: top, bottom,
and head support.? The threaded rod is 8mm x 1.25 from True
Value.? The ends of this 8mm can be just turned down to 1/4".? I
tapped a tight bushing for this which is attached to the center
flange.? I made a block of aluminum, screwed it to the center
flange with two 8x32 screws.? This block protrudes up into the
Unimat head support arm, and is fastened with a 10x24 from each
side.
Does anyone know of a reasonably priced knob graduated in 50 to
use on my 1/4" shaft on top?? Don't tell me to make it.
