I got one when I got my 1kX1k for the classroom, but it was part number 30309-03 without a handle and I have not had any problem with it hitting the Dewalt 611, however I also have never really used it. But it is there if and when I ever need to make a fine adjustment to the Z (like it is not deep enough towards the last cut).

I agree with Phil. I have one of the knobs and it just sits now as I prefer to use the machine as intended and use the software to move the Z axis, never need to touch any axis for that matter.

Just work on getting familiar with that machine and it’s limits and you can move the spindle around pretty fast.

Jog machine with the controls but if you must you do have a machine the can easily produce this knob one from plastic or hardwood or metal. Also set yourself up a touch plate then there is really no use for this knob. Just my 2 cents.
