5. Spiral knurling of small widths

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.

Measure and test only with the machine at rest or the workpiece unloaded.

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