Got it off.
The trick for me, at least, was to use two large flat blade
screwdrivers with even pressure to both sides of the handle. Using
just one, or with uneven pressure, it would bind and could not be removed.
Here are photos of the new machine:
Thanks!

Hi Kevin,
At the risk of being politically incorrect, I was once advised to
treat it like a woman. :-o (sound of quickly drawn breath in
disbelief!) I think they meant a bigger hammer or more force or
something...
Actually, my Sieg has a SHCS on each slide rather than a nut. But from
memory the cross slide handle was shipped reversed to reduce crate
size. No trick though. Maybe yours is a cosier fit.

I just got my new Homier 7x12. I removed the hex nut on the reversed
cross slide handle, but I can't get it off. Is there a trick? I don't
want to apply too much force and damage the machine.
Thanks,
Kevin
