knurling tool advice - mike-sid - 02-15-2015
I'm looking to buy a knurling tool for my 13x30 Harrison lathe. I'm looking at a few projects, and knurling is required. Any advice on a good tool?

I'm sure Tom could post a picture of his when he gets time.

Check MSC's catalog, for knurlers

Well it didn't copy and paste like I thought it would,

I'd love to see a picture of a completed one, and even a video of one in action. I think I might make Tom's

Here you go. I forgot all about this thread Tom had posted to.

I'm a bit late to the party, but as has already been pointed out, you can make a knurling tool that is at least as good as anything you can buy. All of the drawings for my clamp knurling tool are posted on my website and if I can manage to get my butt in gear, the rest of the videos will soon be there as well. I've had a lot of people email me who have finished building it and all of them have had good success. The only problem was that one of them purchased knurls without chamfered corners and they dug in and broke the first time he used it. He has since purchased convex knurls and it works perfectly.
