With this technique attention is to be paid to the following:
- The workpiece is mostly chucked in hard chuck jaws.- The knurling wheels are fixed in the holder by unhardened steel pins (see Fig. 5).
- The knurling wheels must always be clean.
- The knurling holder is to be clamped approx. 1 mm below centre and at right angle to the workpiece axis.
- The matching edge bearing of the knurling tool must be perfectly fitting.
- By operating the cross-slide screw, the tool is pressed against the workpiece.
- If possible, the knurling should be produced in one feed setting.
- Good cooling and lubrication are to be ensured.
- The workpiece is to be chamfered after knurling.
- By visual inspection the knurling is checked.

Why are the workpieces provided with chamfers only after
straight or spiral
knurling?
