Knurling flat

[DAT510]

Not actually knurls, but Keith Rucker recently showed cutting serrations on some vise jaws.

What I did not say on my post above is that the knurl tool needs to overtravel the part being knurled so that there is a complete left and right handed knurl on the part being knurled, I think that the overtravel pieces were about 2" long at each end of the workpiece.

Looks like he spells about the same as he speaks.

if you are just looking for some gripping surface, you can give them a cross hatch with a fly cutter. It requires a slow spindle speed and fast feed rate.

If it’s small like a mag release then a checkering file might be an option.
