I think my little micro lathe just doesn't have the strength to knurl.
The motor stops on pressure and even the tool cross slide moved a bit when I hunkered down.
The pic shows about the best I can get.
Show off!
Toldja' Will will impress ...
Nice Will. What kind of knurl is that 3rd pic with the spiral knurls.
I'm using a Grizzly G0745 4x6 micro lathe.
Will, those knurls are exceptionally good.
I'm still confused about the math approach. As you can see in my pic my knurls are just under 1/8" wide. The knurling wheels are wider. So guven that I have zero need to move the wheels axially. So what's the point of the math? As I see it, I only have two options, make only one rotation of the brass rod or multiple rotations. The knurling tool and rod stay put along the length(axially?).
