Thanks!
It looks like the one in Skagen is slightly different model.
If I only had a hole to screw the handle in, I could easily stick a bolt
there. Unfortunately, on my mill the end of the axle has a male thread.
I put the handle through that, and tighten a nut over it.
Well, that's how it used to be. I had filed the threads off in the end,
and stuck that piece into my drill. Now that piece is gone.
I guess I will have to file all the handle things away from the axle,
drill a hole, cut threads into it, and then insert a (headless) bolt
that goes into my drill.
I can see two small problems with this approach:
- There is no automatic way to keep the drill straight on the axle. If
it isn't straight, it will shake everything, and wear down the
fitting. I have experienced that already with my little setup. I
guess a deep hole and a long bolt will help against this.
- My battery drill tends to run out of juice, always in the middle of
the process. And it is not very powerful. I would rather use my big
drill, but it tends to go a bit too fast.
A solution that might fix both problems would be to add a wheel to the
axle, another, smaller wheel at my drill, and a belt drive. That would
allow for small misalignment, and reduce the speed too. But I am not an
engineer (and certainly not a machine engineer), so I am not quite sure
of how to get this done. Nor if it is a good idea at all.
