HHIP 3900-0201 Quill Feed Handle for Mill

Works great

It fit and works very well

Would give this 5 stars, but the knob arrived broken. I would have liked to request a partial refund, but Amazon does not offer this, and returning it was not worth the effort for an otherwise functional part. I will replace the knob with a steel ball that will be nicer than the plastic knob that was broken, so I am not too upset. If the manufacturer were to place a little bit more packaging around the knob this could have been avoided. Otherwise nice product, and works with my 1985 enco mill with no major issues.

It does seem strange that this handle fits the Bridgeport quill perfectly once you have bored it out to the correct size. It is easy to do on a lathe with a boring bar or with a boring head on the mill. The top unscrews easily (2 x #2 posidrive screw heads) and the pin that holds the handle is easy to punch out.Once bored and reassembled it works very well. Probably some thread locker is going to be needed to prevent its parts shaking loose.Why it claims to be a knee handle is a complete mystery as is the fact that HHIP continue to make it despite all of the reviews saying the hole is too small. Maybe it is the correct size for some milling machine somewhere.Despite all of this I am pleased with its performance.

This handle works very well. I had to do no work to get it installed. Some people said they had to enlarge the whole slightly, but mine fit perfect on my Bridgeport.

As did others, had to bore and mill mine to fit.

You’ll need to change the set screw to a longer one and put a jam nut on it but other than that it’s great.

As others said, 1" bore was .006 undersize. Hey ..2 vee blocks in a vice, bore it to size. Takes maybe 15 minutes. You must own a mill if buying.Works very well and I did change the handle tip for a ball that is shown. Comes with tapered end. Not a bad price, but QA is an issue here.
