This is a handle I was missing for my Clausing 8540 horizontal mill.
Mine was missing and the off the shelf handles like for a Bridgeport are too small length wise. What it is for is on the right side of a Clausing 8540 mill there is a rapid traverse manual crank handle. There are 2 gears that move X axis. 1 gear is a 1:1 ratio and the other gear is a 1:4 ratio. the handle slides in and out to change the ratio. A standard mill handle 3" long is fine for the 1:1 ratio, but on the 1:4 ratio it was a bit hard to turn. The handle I made ended up being 5.281 long from center hub to the center of the small ball.
