2110 forum posts 565 photos	I needed a knurling tool to knurl a 2 inch diamiter knob a few weeks ago and my M Type Drummond lathe isn't strong enough to use a push type tool and ended up getting if done on a friend's lathe. I had a think and thought I can make one to use on my lathe and here is my efforts. I had bought a push knurling tool at the Doncaster show and robbed it as it had three pairs of wheels in and only cost £10.00. The screw was a 130 mm long capscrew and a spring to support the top arm in a rough set place. There is a bronze washer to help the spring slide and a bent 6mm washer at tbe top of the spring to help it slide over the bolt slot. It works very well. David

I think they are too hard on the lathe, much better to operate under and over. Looking at your model, I am tempted to make something like that to replace my rough and ready unit. Very nice job !
