I'm looking for one of these to fit a Jet JML1014, been trying to order the smaller one that Woodcraft used to sell, but they no longer carry them. Anyone know where to get a good one? I don't care for the Jet ones, and looking for another source. Wonder who makes the ones Woodcraft was selling?
Thanks for any help!!

Knockout? I use a piece of cold-rolled steel of appropriate diameter from a home center for both Tommy bar replacement and as a knockout for my lathe.
Hi there
You should go to a metal supply store or maybe your hardware or HD carries it also, and get a length of brass rod, the Jet has a 3/8" head stock opening I think ?? Anyway use the biggest size you can get in, the use of steel knock out bars lead to flaring out the MT shafts on your chuck, drive center, etc., and the use of a brass knockout bar prevents that, the brass will flare but can be hammered to shape again, you don't want to do that to your tapers .

Try various bolts in the headstock to find the largest that fits for diameter. Then get a piece of cold rolled steel that diameter and cut it to the appropriate length. Turn a knob for a handle and you are done. It is likely cheaper, faster and better than ordering.
Guess I'll make something up then. Thought maybe I could find something like what was for sale for around 10 bucks or so. Thought it was the easy way out I guess... Thx.

Hi there Xlat
You have a lathe, get a piece of 3/8" brass rod and turn a nice handle hard wood handle for it, that should work just fine, and it's some good practice.
