Lee Valley sent an email about a sale. I use the Beall Tilt Box and they had them for $28. I figured that was cheap insurance in case my years-old one ever goes out. Since I was spending a Christmas gift card I also picked up the Accu-Burr scraper burnisher.
I have a few old handles that I believe grandpa turned for his jewelry files. They are irregular enough to be obviously one-offed. I use different handles for those files now but still have a few of grandpa's around.
I plugged the holes with hardwood toothpicks and epoxy and re-drilled them.
There is a pretty good friction fit.
If required I will add a bit of adhesive. I'll report back after I have a chance to try this thing out. It is always a treat to have a bit of dad or grandpa around the shop.
