The Art of Knurling | CNC Machining Tutorial | Vlog #87

CNC Machining - Knurling is definitely an Art. You can get 10 different Machinists from 10 Different CNC Machine Shops and chances are, each will have a slightly different looking knurl. Even when a specific knurl is called out on a print, it’s best to ask for a sample to be supplied... as what is intended, is not often specified.

In this video, Tyson teaches you a proven method that will give you a great knurl every time.

Here is more info on the Straddle Knurl Holder we used for this application. We do not know or work with the below company but figured we would give you the info:
Tool: OR SH-KP
Knurl: KP
Knurl Pin: C 164

Subscribed because of how clear, and informative this video was. I have no CNC machine, but I thoroughly enjoy learning new things. Keep up the great work.

[rhinhorns]

Well done Tyson ! Very clear tutorial a pleasure to watch ;)

[rushyahr]

love it, that was awesome, I run a cnc lathe at work, never even thought about knurling on it, we use the manual lathes for that. I can totally see how a higher production job would make use of cnc knurling, and I honestly didn't even know that was possible!

[jackflash]

Right on time. Just knurled my first part last week. I was apprehensive at first but after all the fussing and worry, it wasn't so bad. Your way of setting the offset is much simpler than what I went through. Thanks for the tips and great video!

[lordnuck]

Im about to knurl for the first time tomorrow. This video makes it look very simple and frankly takes alot of the edge off.

[JackOfAllTradesMON]

Nice! . A different way of touching off. Still got the same results. I generally run the spindle slow and move the knurl tool down till it starts spinning on a known diameter and call it that diameter. Also I run the neural off the edge and the z until it stops spinning and I call that z0. Let It go from the door today I guess that's from me running manual for years. All depends on how you program it but that was a great tutorial thanks for showing everybody. you, your dad, and the whole company are doing a great job for the industry. And there's always more than one way to do it! keep thinking outside the box it's what our industry needs to succeed.

Woah! One of the beautiful Knurl I've seen. Definitely a class tutorial this was..
And the Boom was Broken already!
Nobody could say Bhoom like Titan, have a nice day to you too Tyson of CNC....

Great video guys! When I did knurling on parts at my old job (which was a lot Haha!!) during setup, I did a skim pass on the material such as you did, and for example a 1" diameter turned down to .985---after that I took our knurling tool (which had the same knurling wheels as what you have) and lightly touched off on the O.D. of the part (.985) and hit X diameter measure button and entered the .985 and then hit enter. From there in my program I would write for my knurling tool to enter rapid in Z-.100 to get started and feed down to X.965'ish, depending on material your knurling and visually check the knurl finish. One trick I learned was to watch the amount of pressure on the X axis as it was knurling and put that note in the program for future runs. Usually for stainless my X axis pressure was around 25-35%. For aluminum it was much less, usually around 10%.
I forgot to mention, that I ran a HAAS SL20 and SL30....not sure if other CNC lathes have that feature of X load pressure.

Excellent video! It's clear and concise and all around very well presented. I really appreciate what you guys are doing, it's a huge help to people who lack proper job shop training.

[darrensamuels]

Tyson you have done a excellent job of explaining all the workings of what you are doing mate thanks very much for the education buddy. 🇦🇺👨‍🏭

[larryblount]

It was good to see the knurling setup. Even better to see tool offset and how it related to work offset. Thank you.

[ctohagen]

thats the cleanest machinist hands i've ever seen :)

[helicopterjohns]

Hi Tyson,
Many thanks for sharing. A very detailed explanation of knurling on the HAAS Lathe. Showing us the setup hows, and whys was very helpful.

[andrewbeaton]

DUDE! THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO TEACH US THIS!

[sonderlon]

Nice video. We look forward to seeing more turning videos like this.

[wbullock]

Well done Tyson! And you’re right, beautiful knurl!

[jordonevans]

I didnt know you could knurl on CNC machines, nice vid!

[tahirmehmoodmughal]

Very Clear and to the point.
Great Stuff !!

[tc]

I’ve been silently judging manufacturers for decades from their incomplete knurls.

[GeneralChangFromDanang]

Tyson, I have to say you are much easier to watch than the big roided up muscle guy. Thank you for making this video.
