I replaced the tension knob with a toggle handle.
As you can see I replaced other knobs as well.

Still having trouble trying to load the second page.
Can someone please delete my post #16.... I think it may be causing trouble.

Thank you. That worked.

Those handles were made before I had my mill using just a drill and angle grinder
I eventually did black/Blue them - can't find the pics of the actual handles but here's a few of others I've done.

Thank you BobL
Toggle handle.
"
I have been wondering what the items were called. "Thing a ma jig or whats it" does not help me when I wanted to do a search
I have lathe and angle grinder and now toogle handles are on the list
I am all for knobs ,handles and such like. What ever removes the need for using a spanner or what ever tool applies.
A time saver as the means of undoing the thread is ready at hand . No searching for the tool which I had not returned to where it was supposed to be left.

I think the more correct term is a "drop handle" but I've always called them "toggle handles".
"Toggle" is more likely to be used in "toggle" switches or levers as used on cabinet drawers.

I would have thought more along the lines of "Swivel handle"

I was thinking about "Swivel ratchets" when I wrote that, you could say there is no real right or wrong answer.
You could even call it a "Flex handle"
It is a good idea though and will definatly be making something similar for my saw.
Do you release the blade tension after use or is it permanently set and you don't adjust it till you need to change the blade?
