Very nice tool, how many children did you have to sell ???
Regards

If only they would let me! Just remember, they are always well behaved and beautiful.....when they are asleep. It really was not that expensive (of course that depends on your definition of expensive) $300 plus post. They start from about $500 on ebay with only 1 pair of wheels.

Nice... I pleased you kept Arthur... but it's still a sweet looking knurler I'm looking for a good one too, but no luck so far..

I don't know if you need more but there are some Quick wheels on Ebay at the moment. Here's one - Pour Outil A Moleter Quick Maquetiste Aeromodeliste Modeliste Lathes Molettes | eBay

Thanks Bob,
If anything some 15deg wheels would be good, they are what you use to get straight knurls. I'll probably still just make a clamp style tool with the straight wheels you sent me though. All the wheels i found are straight.

Anyway, some pics of the knurl, it is a 1.2mm pitch, pretty course. It has come out of the cut a bit, if the tool is not aligned properly it will do this, as the trailing edge of the wheel can push the tool out. The knurl is crisp and sharp, it would shred your fingers if you spun on it trying to turn it. The close up shows the points are not quite complete.

BTW it 25mm or so bar

Hi Ewan,

That's what I was looking for.. getting nice knurls is something that I've never managed.. the few times that it sort of worked has been on softish material, never any good on steel.

I guess my question really boils down to asking... do you think the Quick worth the extra money?

I'm not in any tearing hurry so I can wait till the right one comes along, the other brand I was thinking of is integi Basic Knurling Kit

Very nice Ew.

I would love to see some shots of the Quick in action if you get a chance. I have seen small Quicks " buy it now" on Ebay but the price asked is anything but small.

Bob.

Ew,

Just chanced upon these. I don't know what wheel size your knurler uses - Rändel Fräsrollen Fabrikat "Quick" 8 Stück "NEU" | eBay

Thanks Bob, But a bit small. I'd have to check how big they are, maybe 20mm dia?

Hi Ray,
Sorry i forgot to answer this earlier.
Its not an easy question to answer, i guess some people will think i'm mad, but it is a wonderful tool to use and does produce a very nice knurl quickly, you run it at normal HSS speeds and feeds. You need a range of wheels though i think to really make it worth while.

Ahh Hi Ewan again, I'm late to this thread, and I'm wondering if your cut knurling tool is this one from Gumtree from about mid December last year.Lathe Machine Knurling Cutter Tool "Quick" Miller | Miscellaneous Goods | Gumtree Australia Bankstown Area - Bass Hill | 1033286676
Unfortunately I don't think there is a way to access the original listing once the item has sold on Gumtree, but your buying price is in the ballpark of this one IIRC. When I first saw that listed, I thought it was a big ask for a knurling tool, not realising it was for cut knurls, but after some research I changed my mind on the value. A very nice tool, the first commercial one I have seen, but if anyone is interested there was a construction article run in the Home Shop Machinist over 5 issues and between 50 and 60 pages I would estimate. If anyone is interested in home brewing one, the construction series seems pretty comprehensive, and I could put it on a pen drive if you don't have better access.
