I would call it a quick release or cam release. Bicycles use them for wheels and seatposts but those are much smaller. I've never seen an M10.
It's some variety of adjustable handle, but I've never seen that variety for sale or listed in a catalog, just on tools. The commonly available kind use a bolt, and the handle is a wrench. spring tension keeps it engaged, but you can pull back to change which flats it's engaged on. should be available from your favorite industrial supplier.

10-24, not M10

Different style, but this may work for you

They're not a cam, it's just a folding lever attached to screw threads. Folding lets you turn it fully, even if it's too close to an obstruction, and you can easily spin it for large adjustments.
My Jet drill press uses the same part. I would assume you could order a replacement as a spare part from Jet, Grizzly, or some other tool seller.
Edit to add: In a 10-24 thread? That is way smaller than the handle on my drill press, so ordering a spare in that size is unlikely unless you can find a tool with a similar handle that small.

Cam release, as the name implies, uses a cam to tighten, not just the threads. These do not use a cam.

Not sure I've seen them that small. Maybe I have but not exactly like that. The ones I've seen that were small have a sheet metal "lever". I think I would shoot for a thumbscrew vs something with a lever. It would **** breaking off a #10 screw in a vise jaw.

Yeah I get that. I'm just saying that having that extra leverage means it'll be easier to break it off and that would ****.
I've never seen screws that size in the style you asked for. They usually look more like this.

Yeah, I think it's one of those things the manufacture name became the generic name, sorta like "Kleenex" but I can't think of it.
As far as a cam lock I don't think you will find one that small, as I believe someone else said, at 10-24, or even 1/4' taking a lot of material out of the stud for the cam.

I wish I knew. I've made a few of them over the years. Not hard to do if you have access to the right machinery. They are common enough that it's hard to believe each is custom made for the application. Nothing I've searched has come up with it though. In the time I've spent looking just now, I could have made one.
Likewise! Lol. I’ll just make some!

Sorry, I don't know what that is. To me it means metric 10 with 24 thread pitch.

Metric doesn't use threads per inch for thread pitch. It's simply the spacing of the threads so a M10x1.5 would be 10mm diameter with 1.5mm space between adjacent threads.
Here's a chart to help you.

Bicycle skewers are usually about that size but metric, the #10, not 3" (1/4').

I should have been clearer, a cam lock AS PICTURED. With the cam being a piece metal that sits IN the stud the stud would have a lot of material removed.
This is more like a bicycle skewer
www.mcmaster.com
But out of all that, the OP didn't show a cam lock, or what ever you want to call it. He showed a stud with a handle. while I'm sure there is a name for it, I can't think of it.

Thank you! Has been a while and I mixed up metric and and standard.Metric doesn't use threads per inch for thread pitch. It's simply the spacing of the threads so a M10x1.5 would be 10mm diameter with 1.5mm space between adjacent threads.

CAM Handle. I'm pretty sure this is what you can get at McMaster that does the same thing

Have you found your cam handle yet?
It's crazy just how poor people's reading comprehension is.

They’re called clamping levers. I’d replace it with one of these from JW Winco

A quick search yielded the results below this does not have the floppy handle but the spring loaded style providing much more leverage. Example below is metric but also plenty available in sae. Keyword search is "spring loaded clamping lever"
Also if you really want the cam lever style Carr Lane sells them in various thread pitches
Example products
- Morton M6X1.0 Adjustable Clamping Lever
- RS PRO Adjustable Clamping Lever M10

Has GJ been stumped?
I don't see a direct replacement, good alternatives yeah. But no 1:1???
Anybody have a direct link to this exact style of lever? I'm truly curious at this point.

Nice workGrizzly PT31739008 - LOCK HANDLE 15 X 78, M10-1.5 X 25 - Grizzly Industrial, Inc.
Grizzly PT31739008 - LOCK HANDLE 15 X 78, M10-1.5 X 25
So it's a "lock handle", very elusive name
seems to only exist as a drill press table direct replacement and not a more universal piece of hardware? Makes sense I guess, not a terribly great design.

Same style is used on a couple of my drill press vises, so it's not completely unique to the drill press itself. The one like I posted a pic of I've seen in a few places, like on an xy table, funny enough, for the drill press. Ok, maybe it's unique to "drill press use" items.
