Jet hand wheel for HF 34707 lathe

[Richard Dooling]

I may be repeating known information but . . .

After searching and trying to get a definitive answer as to whether or not the Jet 1238 hand wheel fits the HF clone I decided to take a chance and I ordered one. Well I’m happy to report that it does fit.

So for anyone else who has the HF 34706 and wants a hand wheel here’s the order info:

It will but you can't use the knockout rod. There's no hole for it. Or at least the one I have doesn't.

[Allen Neighbors]

Don't know for sure, but it should be easy to drill out the center of the handwheel so you can use the knockout rod.

[Richard Dooling]

True and I think I may drill it out. I believe if I maintain just enough clearance for the rod, there is enough material to do this.

Meanwhile I’m thinking of making a thin UHMW washer to ensure that the wheel doesn’t get jammed on too tight. Does this make sense?

Just curious, your post topic calls the HF lathe a 34707, which you correct in the post... Could you double check part # to make sure it's right for the 34706?

On the knockout bar issue. What do owners of the JWL1236 do?

Sorry David - I'm famous for my mistyping skills.

It is a 34706 - Harbor freight's 12" lathe

I can confirm that this number still works and the part is still available, but the price increased to $50.

The price on Amazon is listed as $143.18 as of today. Jet lists it as $86.20 but the picture is inconclusive. It just shows the wheel but not the connecting threaded side.
