Knurling

RussellT:
I don't see how that could make any difference.  I don't really see why the tool would have been upside down either - I think even when used in a rear tool post it would be fine to run the lathe forward so the tool could still be the right way up.

You have made me wonder though if there is any possibility of misalignment between the knurls.  If they were able to move sideways or the points of the diamond pattern were out of line then that might cause a problem.

I assume you are using diamond knurls?  You can do a diamond pattern with straight knurls at 45 degrees.

A couple of pictures of your knurling tool in situe, showing alignment and one with a bit of stock between knurls before knurling.
