Making of a special cut knurling tool

Last year I bought some different cut knurling wheels for my mini lathe. The original holders for the wheels are very expensive, so I made my own one. Now I 'm able to knurl in any angle I want (if I have the right wheels ;) ). Straight, fishbone and also 45 degree cross knurling.

1mm-6mm:

6-10mm:

Nice! And I've been wondering why people build these complicated knurling tools - this is perfectly adequate for hobbyists!

Thumbs up from me. Love the idea of putting the angled markings on the back

Good vid : excellent pictures, no bla bla, no shitty music. Quiet and relaxing thanks🖖👍👌

Nie wiem czy wszyscy mają to samo wrażenie, ale toczenie i frezowanie metalu ma w sobie coś hipnotyzującego.

maybe flood it with coolant or mist it to remove the chips so that they are not interfering with the work. Chips are such a problem in all machining operations removing them so that the cutters is nit re-cutting them dramatically improves surface finish.

Thank you for sharing your project; the part and the video production are both top quality.

Great work. We shared this video on our homemade tools forum this week 😎

Wow hermosa herramienta, excelente video. Sincesamente una obra de arte industrial, saludos desde Argentina!

[masterQ]

Really great idea. I was amazed at how you did it

диаметр детали должен быть кратным диаметру ролика накатки, иначе зубчики не будут совпадать и будут раздавливать друг друга .

Now cut a thread with the same pitch and it will make a diamond-shaped knurl. It comes out a little closer to a square or rhombus shape when I do it.

Excellent idea
Thanks for sharing
Just subbed

Which wheels did you use? If there was a shot that included the markings clearly I missed it.
Also, a thought - getting the washers and the wheel aligned on the shaft looks a little fiddly, why not have shoulders on the brass and a smaller shaft? That way you can have brass (or switch to bronze) as the bearing surface instead of steel-on-steel, and the washers and the wheel will align.

Nice video on a topic rarely covered on YouTube.
A small criticism: I think you could tweak the head angle a bit to get knurls that are more straight. It is tough — I speak from experience with an actual commercial cut knurler.

Sehr gute Arbeit. Aus was hast du denn den Hauptträger gemacht? 235, 355 oder ein Cr? Gefällt mir gut.

[johnkemas]

Great tool! I'm curious, what type or brand of bluing did you you use on the steel? Seemed like it gave a very even finish!

[lavenirkevin]

Super top, ou tu as acheter ta tourelle multifix ?

[AmithKVZ]

Can you specify the knurling wheel specs you used?

[Markdoubts]

Where did you get the drawers in beginning of the video. Many thanks!!!

What chemical did you apply to the metal to make it black color ? What is that procedure ?
