Powerful Rare Earth Magnet & Fail-Safe Indexing Pin Make Handle Re-Positioning a Breeze! \n \nEnjoy having 10 quill feed handle positions at 36� increments, instead of 3 positions at 120� increments! \n \nIn order to keep updating the Shopsmith Multipurpose Machine to make it easier and more convenient to use, we've recently come up with another great idea, a simple, inexpensive quill feed handle upgrade that's easier and safer to operate, provides comfortable working position, moves well out of Your way when necessary. \n \nHere's How It Works \nSimply remove the quill feed handle and hub that's mounted to the quill feed shaft on Your Shopsmith and replace it with the hub adapter. To attach the index handle to the adapter, slip the handle's center hole over the 5/8" shaft of the adapter. The rare earth magnet will engage immediately, pulling the handle indexing pin into one of the 10 holes bored into the adapter. \n \nHandle Re-positioning \nTo disengage the handle from the adapter and move it to a different position, simply grasp the silver collar of the index handle (NOT the black handle nor the handle shaft) and pull it straight out and away from the adapter. No fiddling or un-screwing the handle from its hub. It's just that fast and easy! \n \nThe indexing pin and holes have been precision fitted to one another with just enough clearance to allow them to engage and disengage quickly, yet they WILL NOT disengage in the event You should accidentally bump the handle. Precision drilling and close tolerances make this an ingenious design that works perfectly every time! \n \nNote: The Quick-Index Quill Feed Handle works on all MARKS \n \nAvailable as a two-piece Standard Kit or a three-piece Deluxe Kit with an adapter for each side of the Smart Motor. \n \nQuick-Index Quill Feed Handle Standard Two-Piece Kit (556441) \nIncludes: One Steel Hub Adapter and One Quick-Index Handle \n \nQuick-Index Handle Only (523071) \nIncludes: Indexing pin, Rare Earth Magnet, Handle Rod and Black Plastic Handle \n \nQuick-Index Hub Adapter (523070) \nIncludes: Standard 5/32" Setscrew and 10 Precision-bored, Evenly Spaced Circumferential Indexing Pin Holes \n \nBUNDLE & SAVE \nGet the Quick-Index Deluxe Three-Piece Kit (556442) \nYou'll get the basic kit --PLUS-- an extra hub adapter for the opposite side of the machine.

    Every Shopsmith should have one.

    I do a lot of lathe work. This is an easy and instantaneous way to keep the quill handle out of the way of the tool rest, headstock controls, and your hands. This is an excellent upgrade item and is well worth the price.
