I just thought I would sling this up just in case its of help to anyone else.
The knurls on the stainless knobs for my binocular are very very difficult to get to full depth with no double tracking.

What I have resorted to is starting them at the beginning of the shaft but only one third to one half the width of the wheels actually making contact and cutting.
This seems to let me get the full depth of cut easier with no double tracking then slowly move along the bar for the length of knurl required.
If you peruse the knurls in the link above closely you can see some of the double track still visible.
This method of starting appears to have solved this.
