Thread: extra-fine knurling
28/09/2016 20:50:47

Many Thanks for all the suggestions, plenty of food for thought there!

Just to clarify, I should have specified 'straight knurls'.( However 'rope knurls ' may well be required at some stage, so its all of interest)

I'm away for a few days now but will indeed post an image as soon as I have the originals to hand, to give a bit clearer idea. Also try and get an approximate measure of the actual pitch, (-they are very fine)

Thanks again, Richard

Hello, I'm new to the forum so hope this is the correct place for my query.

I'm currently trying to reproduce some pieces in brass based on 18th and 19th century original parts. Most of machining is basic and straightforward but some components require very fine knurling (bit like scientific instruments).Problem is that I cant find any knurls fine enough commercially, and was hoping I wouldnt have to make/bodge something myself (not sure my skills are up to that!) Someone did suggest jewellers 'milgrain wheels' but they appear to produce 'cups' rather than lines. Would have thought perhaps clockmakers might need something similar.

Any thoughts/info would be much appreciated.

Thanks, Richard
