Every machinist knows that knee adjustments can be one of the most tedious aspects of milling machine operation. The constant cranking, the strain on your wrist, the interruptions to your workflow - it all adds up over a long day in the shop. But what if you could make these adjustments with the simple turn of a drill?
This knee raise tool is crafted from high-quality alloy steel, making it significantly more durable than typical aluminum adapters you'll find elsewhere. While aluminum tools may wear down or bend under heavy use, this steel construction ensures it will maintain its precision and functionality through countless operations. The robust design means you can count on this tool to perform reliably, day in and day out, without worrying about premature failure.
One of the standout features of this adapter is its versatility. It's designed to work with all milling tools featuring 0.625" shafts and 9-gear connections, making it perfect for Bridgeport machines and their import clones. Whether you're working with a B-ridgepor, C-om, E-n, S-uperm, V-ict, J, A-llia, A-c, S-ha, C-hevali, or W-eb machine, this tool has you covered. The 9-tooth interface ensures a secure connection every time, giving you confidence in your adjustments.
Using this tool couldn't be simpler. Just attach it to your milling machine's knee mechanism, insert any standard 1/2" collet drill bit, and you're ready to go. The smooth, controlled motion allows for precise adjustments without the jerky movements that can sometimes occur with manual cranks. Plus, when you need a quick manual adjustment, you can always use any 7/8" wrench as a lever, giving you flexibility in different working situations.
Imagine reducing the time spent on knee adjustments by 70% or more. That's the kind of efficiency this tool brings to your workflow. Whether you're making frequent small adjustments during intricate work or handling larger positioning changes, this adapter makes the process faster and more comfortable. Less time spent cranking means more time focused on what really matters - creating precision parts and getting the job done right.
