Rob I did this knurl, diameter about 2 1/2" in mild steel, on my mini-lathe, although it does have the taper roller modification I don't think that makes a real difference. Neil NIce work Neil, and I think you have answered my question - thanks. Did you punch the numbers (they look punched) freehand? They always come out squiff when I try that. Rob

1227 forum posts 101 photos	Is the occasional use of a side knurling tool really any worse for the machine than a common operation like parting off? Considering the small sizes of most of our parts, I would be more concerned about distorting the workpiece with a side knurler. Mine was knocked up in a few minutes to allow the use of a straight knurl wheel I found in a box, apart from proving it works I haven't used it yet. The small scissor knurler I bought struggled on 25mm stainless bar in my old minilathe, but was OK in other materials. It's better in the bigger machine I now have.
