You can get a hand wheel that has a smaller hole and machine the hole in your lathe (if it is working). You also could machine a key way using your lathe. (Or fixture a file to do the same.) I had to bore out the hand wheel I purchased, and add a key way. Both were done on my lathe.
The advantage of having machines is we can make or modify what we have... When I first started out, I kept on thinking that I was stuck - or couldn't buy exactly what I needed. After a while I finally came around to, "what's stopping me from making or changing this?" It was a liberating moment.
