Wooden and SS Group Handles.

I still think that the silver end cap is removable, Unless its fake Does it appear to look like a cap/plug KK

I had a quick go at removing but it will damage the bakelite handle so I gave up until I find out if their is also in fact a nut behind it and not just one holding it... :🙂

Even the Bezzera handles have a light strength Locktite so it wont be a surprise to me that the BES900 has the same system Unfortunately its hard to unscrew by hand as it requires the Locktite seal to be broken first KK

I'm hoping that's the answer, we'll put it in the vice if so. Muscles we've already damaged the handle trying, after the second scratch and the first chip I made him stop. Oh well it's run in now LOL

Here are some photos of a Bezzera handle Hope it helps Photo 1 is of the Locktite left over after removal Photo 2 is of the end cap/disc partly removed Photo 3 is of the inside of the handle Can you see the hex shape tube down the bottom :lamp: KK

I love that far right one AM. Damn Breville and their all in one pfs, that really really sucks!!!

I don't think anyone knows the cost of a replacement yet, the nakeds are going to be over $100. I'll offer up mine once I get a naked ;D it's supposed to be next month sometime so not too long to wait. Hopefully you'll be able to pull it apart and be able to put a new handle on and then I'll do a swap and have the naked done as well 🙂

I've missed this thread until now, but wanted to also say a huge thanks to AM for the naked PF he sorted me out with that had one of his custom wooden handles on it. I looks bloody brilliant - I pour naked now whenever possible, because I love seeing it on the machine so much. Now I need to figure out if I can replace the steam tap handle with a wooden equivalent! Here's a couple of shots:

Here ya go!

We don't know that yet either AM, answer though - sure, whatever works best for you 🙂

The group handle you have is a Mango, was it not ?

You tell me!! 😃 I'll see what I can do about unscrewing it - it almost looks like it's on a ball within the handle, but haven't looked to closely just yet. BTW - Auspost says the other PF was delivered, did it make it ok?

I have completed my wooden handle for the naked filter AM gifted me another wooden handle but I needed to finish it by fitting the threaded stud Yesterday I drilled the correct size hole and glued it in - leaving it over night to harden All stages are photographed and posted KK

AM I was speaking to a relative and he said that he can get some iron bark with red heart wood So I told him I will take all he has - and pass it on to you KK

Are so you want a Slayer type handle... Have 3 already done... in that stuff that D: keeps talking about that makes good decking.. Sorry, memory is fruited. PS: What size thread ? How long the handle ? How long is the exposed thread ?

Normal Bezzera thread 12mm Added revised Drawing with length on above post KK

Koffee_Kosmo

The idea is close to what you have done in the past My design - Just has more emphasis on the cone end KK

I just had to share I took a snapshot of some of AMs finished lathe turned handles Which ones do you like ? Same photo shown with and without flash KK

Top left for me.

Bottom left is my favourite. Would match the current AM-fashioned works of art that adorn my machine,
