Vic, I just walked out to my shop and looked at the Proxxon handwheels. They were fastened to the screws with rolpins, approximately 1/16" in diameter. I remember having to buy a pretty small pin punch, but with that, the handwheels came off easily. I never completed the CNC conversion, and I'm going sell the Proxxon, which has never been used, and in the original box.
