Installing a Custom Racing Wheel on My Milling Machine



Today we’re replacing the speed handle on the PM935 milling machine with a steering wheel. This makes the quill feed much easier to use and it’s never in the wrong position. We’ll 3D print a prototype hub adapter, test it, and then make a new one on the lathe. We’ll also slot a keyway on the mill. Fun times!

This is the steering wheel I purchased:
