Thanks for that Clive. Unfortunately I didn't get into this hobby until 2003, so I only have MEW from #79 onward. I'm in Perth, Western Australia, so my options for accessing a copy are somewhat limited. Besides being Aug/Sept 1991, is there an associated issue # ? It may help in an internet search.

Thanks, Roger

Hi Roger,
MEW was only numbered from around issue 12. I think that the Aug/Sept 1991 issue was the 6th published.

Issue #166 (Aug 2010) carries an article by Dave Fenner with the another 2 wheel 'Quick' design. This seems a little more complicated to make than the earlier one. The article also includes photographs of a commercial 'Quick' tool. Credit for the photos go to none other than JohnS.

It would be interesting to know what advantage if any, the 2-wheel has over the single wheel tool. If John has used both styles, he may be the best person to answer.

Clive, it's obviously not my day. #166 is one of five issues that newsagents have 'forgotten' to save for me over the last 12 years. I did find an article by Dave Fenner in #147, in which JohnS's single-wheel device made an appearance.

To answer Murray's question - yes, in #147 it appears that the wheel is leading towards the chuck.

"what advantage if any, the 2-wheel has over the single wheel tool" - don't you need two for diamond knurling?

That cut Knurling tool is worth a separate thread if you fancy doing a write up John.
