Are we talking wooden knobs for furniture or plastic knobs for home made jigs and such?

If you are looking for plastic try Reid Tool, McMaster-Carr, MSC Direct, etc. Don’t know about wood.

Good luck,

Try checking Grizly’s site. A few years back I was able to find a number of different fixture knobs that I couldn’t find anywhere else. I even picked up some metric ratcheting type through them for making a Delta benchtop mortiser totally tool-free.

Oops.Sorry – I missed your reply to Chris. You could always make your own wooden ones using a thread tap (bottoming type).

When I needed some for a previous project (I was looking for brass) I came up with nothing also, so I drilled out the threads and tapped them out like Doug recommended above. That was easier, and quicker, than spending hours upon hours looking for them.
