Craftsman 109 Lathe Cross Slide Handle Repair

This isn't so much a repair but more a fabrication. The cross slide has half of a handle remaining on it. It looks like someone tried drilling a hole to add a handle to the stub, so I just ran with that and completed it. Here's the handle stub that I drilled a better hole in, and the start of a new handle chucked up in the lathe.

It's not much, but a far sight better than nothing.

The finished product works a lot better than what used to be there.
