Every time I walk by my Powermatic Planer I manage to drive this height adjustment handle into my side. I finally got fed up and removed it, but then had a thought.
Is anyone aware of a little swivel (maybe called rotating) joint that would have basically 2 threaded studs out each side? I could then mount one of those little black phonelic balls - identical to the speed adjustment lever on the planer - and get the same effect but with far less obstruction. I looked over the handle that I took off and for the life of me I can't figure out how they assemble them.
Thanks !
