Sherline has adjustable handwheels for their metric lathes, but
they cost about $50 plus shipping and I don't know the the size of
the shaft hole.

I was able to spend some time on the Little Machine Shop
website earlier today and found a dial and handwheel that are
listed as replacement parts for some Micro Mills. The dial shown
has 40 graduations and the hand wheel has no handle on it. There
are no details as to how they work together but appear to be
friction type. I called there for more details and they have a
voice message saying the shop is closed due to the fires. As far
as a 40-graduation dial goes, I could manage to use it on the
cross feed because it does not travel a great distance. Most of
the work I do is not that precise and will always need checked
before it is finished. ?At best I consider myself "amateur" but
am looking for a dial that I can re zero during the cut. At this
point it looks like this modification will be a combination of
purchased parts that will need to be specially fitted to the
lathe. Thank You, Frank? ?
