I must say the diamond knurled bowl looks rather nice. :drool: |

Same method may work on the plastic you were wanting to knurl. Its done with a "star" shaped cutter that is free to rotate and offered up to the work at an angle which sets it rotating. just like a cut knurler but a lot cheaper. http://www.robert-sorby.co.uk/spiral_texture.htm J |

Thanks for the link Jason, Looks very interesting with the different textures than can be achieved on wood. |

Bry, If items like that interest you then try Googling "Ornamental Turning". Some hugely complex work has been done even hundreds of years ago. Also try "Geometric Chuck". There is a few books around dealing with the subject. T.D. Walshaw wrote one some years ago that's pretty good and it's still avalible thru Tee Publishing in the U.K. Pete |
