Hi all,

Does anyone use cut knurling tools rather than the more usual forming or compression knurls?

I have just bought some cut knurling tools and wondered if anyone had any ups for their use?

I have downloaded the Quick tools instruction manual for the tools I have and it seems straight forward, but I wonder about the diameter of the workpiece in relation to the pitch of knurl required.

I will do some experiments when the snow clears from my shop door and report back.

Over on HMEM there was a discussion about cut knurling tools a while back which you may care to read.

I use Quick and Integi cut knurling tools and for both manufacturers I've seen suggestions to calculate for optimum diameters for the knurls to track, I either calculate or run a test for critical jobs but it does tend to work when I just knurl without calculation.
Prepare yourself for some awesome results, cut knurling is fantastic!

Thanks Dave. Some good info there, also found a couple of other good sites for knurling tips.
And thanks Nick, I have both tool post single wheel knurling tools and a three wheel tailstock tool to try out.
Best regards Mick
