Lock Lever for Delta 37-190 6" Deluxe Jointer

Apparently, when I brought this home I laid it down on the 'Wrong Side' and bent the Lock Lever bolt.

I have searched and found the part listed on several sites as "Not Available" or "Out of Stock" so I am looking for a vendor that has it in stock and hoped one of you would have a good source - prefferably one you know has it in stock as searching these sites to discover the Out of Stock" result is time consuming.

You may be able to use a generic ratchet type lever.

Interested because that's my jointer model. Looks like Mark pointed you to the best source. My thought was one of the (literally) half-million items available from McMaster-Carr: safety position handles.

I will have to consider getting a tattoo after seeing the selection there! Possibly a mirror image of he url on my forehead.
Unbelievable selection!

The only thing I noted was that, when I selected #6 Metric threads -- all the measurements were given in metric units. I had to Google a converter!

Thank you.

PS: If there's any good information on 'restoring' this planer - I'm all eyes.

MIKES' Had it w/o the 'out of stock' message. Thank you.

I took the thing to Lowes and matched the threads and bought a pack of matching nuts. Put all six nuts on the threaded part - tightly - and used them to hold the part firmly in a vise while applying pressure enough to straighten it back to (about) normal. The repair is working and I've six new metric nuts in my collection.

Thank you all.
