Dropped some material, broke the knob off the rip fence on my tablesaw. Replacement is $25. For a knob. I think I'll just fire up the lathe instead, as long as (not sure yet) the knob is just affixed with some standard bolt thread.

12/ mounted on the table saw and I screwed up a bit - the bolt I used is a bit longer than the hole it mounts into, so 1/4" of thread is visible 'twixt handle and mount. Might cut it off, might just call it done. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

14/ one doesn't NEED a bolt chamfering too - one can thread a nut on before cutting the thread, then back it off and/or one can also clean up the cut thread with files I've done both but for $10 ....
