Description
This knob replaces the missing one on a Delta ShopMaster BS100 bandsaw. I can't say what the original looked like, but this one is about the same diameter as other knobs on the saw. I shaped it to be easy to tighten, and the needed washer is built in. To get the bolt's hex head seated--it's M6x1x30--I used the Prusa ‘screw pulling’ technique. It's nice and snug, and the next time the students break it I can print another!
I used 30 percent infill for strength. It's Jessie PLA. If that doesn't prove strong enough moving forward, I'll switch to a stronger filament.
