• Sherline Zero Adjustable Handwheel 2.5" Y Axis (Metric)
• Reset to zero anytime during machining
• Install easily with one set screw release
• Provide precise feed control with red collar
• Suitable for Y-axis, inch and metric versions
• Feature ball thrust bearing on Z-axis

The Sherline Zero Adjustable Handwheel 2.5" Y Axis (Metric) offers machinists the ability to reset the handwheel to zero or any desired setting during machining operations, a feature typically found in more expensive full-size machine tools. This handwheel is designed for easy installation, requiring only the release of a single set screw. Its operation is straightforward: by releasing the black locking nut and adjusting the red handwheel collar to zero, users can precisely control the feed amount without complex calculations, thereby saving time and minimizing errors.

This handwheel is specifically designed for the Y-axis and is available in both inch and metric versions. While it can replace standard 1⅝” handwheels with 2” adjustable ones, the larger 2½” handwheels are not recommended for simultaneous use on the lathe leadscrew and tailstock due to potential interference. However, they are suitable for other applications.

A special 2½” diameter handwheel is available for the Z-axis of the mill or vertical milling column, featuring a ball thrust bearing set to alleviate stress from the vertical lifting action. This feature is standard on newer machines, while older models can be upgraded to incorporate this enhancement. The engraved numbers on the collars are oriented for optimal readability depending on the axis of installation, ensuring ease of use across different machine configurations.
