Looks to be to big if you look at the pictures. Check Sherline website and see what they offer and then go from there. Bernd |

Regards, Wong --- End quote --- Hi Wong, Sherline make a knurling tool: http://www.sherline.com/3004inst.htm , but it looks awkward to use because the two bolts which clamp the knurls into the work have to be tightened evenly. There are plans for a knurling tool for the similar size Taig lathe here: http://www.cartertools.com/knurl.html Andy |

Bernd / Andy, Thanks for your comments. I bought the Sherline's knurling tool some months back. Used it a couple of times. May not know how to use it properly. Not knowing how to size up the materials and having problem finding suitable materials, the solutions offered by Hemingwaykits seems attractive. I can learn the approximate size of materials to get and follow the plans to make something useful. Just had a bad experience buying raw materials from the shop I used to buy from (the other one closed down earlier this month...). I'm not going back there again. I'll try the plan Andy provided the link to. How do I know what spring to buy? Sorry Ralph. Hijacked your thread. Regards, Wong |

I don`t know how I missed this Ralph so sorry for the delay but excellent job on the build. I have seen quite a bit of the Hemmingway tooling and the kits look excellent. I would like a Knurling tool so this could be a build in the near future. Excellent work! :bow: |
