60N68 - Replacement Phenolic Clamping Knob 1.75 Dia

Heavy-Duty Phenolic Hand Knob for Machine Repair

The ESAB 60N68 Hand Knob is a premium replacement component designed for durability and ease of use in demanding industrial settings. When original equipment parts wear out, strip, or break, having a direct replacement that meets or exceeds OEM specifications is critical. This knob is manufactured from high-grade phenolic plastic, a material chosen for its excellent strength-to-weight ratio, resistance to heat, and ability to withstand chemical exposure common in welding and fabrication shops.

Designed with the operator in mind, the knob features a 1.75-inch diameter with a textured, fluted perimeter. This ergonomic design ensures that operators can achieve a firm grip, even when wearing heavy welding gloves or when hands are oily. The ability to apply sufficient torque without the use of tools makes this knob ideal for applications requiring frequent adjustments, such as tensioning systems, removable guards, or adjustable stands.
