Knurling tool

(1/4) > >>

Gerhard Olivier:
Time to attak the knurling tool

Design is to be 2 arms to appy presure and save the lathe bearings but to minimize the amount that the cros slide has to be pulled out the mounting is no be to the side of the toolpost.

My knurling tool that I dont like is very good (funtionally) but a bit of a pain to get in between the toolpost and the work.



So To work.

Some steel cut on the band saw



The body marked



And co-ordinate drilled



Then I drilled the holes in the arms and bolted groups of four together.  I cut the relief on the mill by alligning the scribed line with the top of the vice jaw..





The round ends was cut using the washer as a guide to set progressive angles on the mill vice and the cutter staying at one hight







Then a Trial fit to see what it will look like

Nice couple of tools you've made there Gerhard + boring tool holder, they will come in real handy.

Very nice work!

I especially like the way you rounded the parts with a washer and progressive cuts. I hadn't thought of that.

Very smart work their my man. Using washers like filing buttons to machine the round ends is very clever of you. Thanks for sharing with us.  :ddb: :ddb:

Cheers  :beer:
