    Ereplacementparts shows this P/N handwheel with what looks like the center drilled out so the punch would still work.

    Buy the official Jet hand wheel 708344 replacement - Use our model diagrams, repair help, and video tutorials to help get the job done.


    Quite different from the one in your pictures here.

      Mike you had my hopes up. However, I followed your link and if you blow up the picture you'll see that what looks like a hole in the end of the shaft is really just a dark reflection. I think they could bore a hole but don't because the shaft walls would be thinner than desired.

        More good news. Tonight I spent a few minutes running the pink grinding bit from my HF die grinder set (because it fit) in my drill up and down through the 25mm tool post hole in the banjo - and presto! I now have a 1" hole in the banjo. So I can now use rests with 1" posts, as well as this 5/8" to 1" adapter (PSI, $11) so I can use all my 5/8" posted rests, including this curved rest for bowl turning that is on clearance at PSI which I picked up a little while back (was $20, now $6).

          Here are some photos - the first showing the acceptable fit of the stock 25mm tool post into the resized 1" banjo hole, then the new curved rest with post adapter separate, and then seated in the banjo. That curved rest is quite solid.

            Am a new member here. Just stumbled across this post as I was looking for a hand wheel for my new 34706. It is an almost perfect lathe. If it only had forward and reverse and a way to drop the speed below 600 rpm. Thanks for having the same questions as I did.

                Thanks for the reply. Right now I am just enjoying using a lathe that has more functionality than my old Craftsman which committed suicide. Biggest thing for me to begin with will be the hand wheel. I noticed yours had one. Then I would like to get the speed down from 600 rpm to around 100 or 200 rpm. My old lathe had a low speed of 850, and it completely broke a tenon off and slung the bowl across the garage not once but twice. So far this one is a little nicer to me. Hasn't tried to kill me yet.
