The Sherline Oversize Handwheel Instructions provide guidance on utilizing larger handwheels to enhance the operational feel and ease of cranking on tools. These handwheels, measuring 2½ inches in diameter, maintain the same number of graduated markings as their smaller counterparts, yet offer a more robust and substantial handling experience. They are versatile and can be employed on both lathes and mills, providing users with improved control and precision.

When considering an upgrade to oversize handwheels, it is advisable to also explore the zero adjustable handwheels, which are available in both 2-inch and 2½-inch diameters. These adjustable options facilitate easier tracking of dimensions, thereby enhancing the accuracy of machining tasks.

Note: The Oversize 2½” handwheel is not recommended for use on the lathe tailstock as it may interfere with the leadscrew handwheel if oversize handwheels are used on both.
