Does anyone know what the little spring holders on the Everett Side Bender are called? If you do, do you know where I can get them?

Steve,

They have some listed under "stud knobs", under the "revolving Handles" title. I don't
know if the studs are long enough for you. Another alternative is to get a "threaded
hole handle" and cut a section of threaded rod to the right length, then use cyanoacrylate
glue to hold the handle and rod together.

This may be more appropriate for the Fox Bender, but Mcmaster lists something called a "press screw". Comes with the handle, screw, and base mount.

The trick with Mcmaster is to know what to call it... two days later its on your doorstep. Might try their "express" delivery service... got be like "mouse click" and "ding dong" 2 minutes later.

Grizzly also has a press screw available- I got one for my cutaway caul on the
bender (first cutaway- next build).

Bill,

You can also use mirror hangers to attach the springs. That's what I used on mine. You can get them at Home Despot.

I got the press screw from Constantine's.
