Knurling tool E.Riley stile
Xldevil:
Hello.
Again I ordered something at
Hemingway Kits
Very soon,I´ve got another good drawing,all necessary metal and hardware.
The knurling wheels were to order separate.
Building the tool was a good exercise to improve my skills and I can recommend this building for beginners.
The tool is solid as a tank and knurling mild steel is an easy task.
I still have to try brass and aluminum.

kwackers:
Excellent!
Funnily enough that was the very first tool I ever made (although I made it because part way through making another tool I needed something knurling...)
j45on:
Great job :thumbup:
I might have to add this to my list of things to make

Hi Ralph, I just needed a knurling tool, ordered one from Grizzly, got it, found it wouldn't work on mild steel over about 3/8ths in diameter without putting vicegrips on the straight knurled knob, and haven't used it since. It's a bit like the one you just built, but smaller, spindley, and doesn't really have any excuse for existing. The finished picture of yours says it all, and looks to be a real work that can do a real job. It's because of people like you my to do list keeps getting longer, and more related to tooling than jobs. You've made a great looking tool, and it should serve you well for years to come, I hope you put your name and date on it somewhere, so someone can be amazed fifty years from now. Top notch workmanship :headbang: :bow: nice piece of inspiration. mad jack
