Knurling

Knurling Tools Ref: Knurling   Have mercy on your lathe! Conventional, fixed axle tools set up almost unbearable strains on the spindle bearings of a light lathe. Moreover, the finished knurl produced in this way is seldom satisfactory. Neither of the following designs create these strains; allowing the two knurls to 'float' on the work. Each employs two sturdy cheek plates which steady the arms enormously when traversing the work. Each design accepts straight or diamond knurls which must be ordered separately and can quickly be changed from one pattern to the other.

Basic Knurling Tool   Ref: HK 1110 The Basic Knurling Tool is a sound investment; from it's first use you'll wonder why you put up with anything less. The tool has a capacity of Ø3/16 - Ø2" and the thin knurls can be traversed to within 1/4" of the chuck. A single pass will suffice in all but the toughest steels. The kit includes all necessary material for the tool itself (without knurls) together with drawings and construction notes. Price: £23.90 (Including VAT at 20%)

Sensitive Knurling Tool   Ref: HK 1115 This design closely follows that of the 'Marlco' brand, available from W H Marley & Co until the late 60's. This item became a standard in the toolroom; allowing operators to feel the knurl being generated and adjust the pressure to both arms using fine feed lever. This is a great advantage for jobs in aluminium and brass where care must be taken not to tear the material. It is also child's-play to run knurls of identical depth on a quantity of parts. The proportions of the original tool have been reduced to a size more suitable to the lighter lathe and the capacity ranges from Ø3/16" to Ø2 1/2". The kit arrives with all necessary materials for the tool itself (without knurls), drawings and construction notes. Whilst this project contains more work than the basic knurling tool, we have no doubt that you will be repaid handsomely! CLICK HERE to compare with the original Marlco tool. Price: £37.80 (Including VAT at 20%)
