Recently TomG showed us his "BestYet" knurling tool and I thought that it looked pretty cool, so I decided to see if I couldnt copy it --
I ran off a couple pics of Toms tool and "interpolated?" the sizes to make it to. Its all made with stuff from the scrap box, main body is a slab of 5/8" steel plate (didnt have any aluminum that would do) and the uprights are aluminum, adjust screws are some 5/16-18 thread stock with thumb knobs soldered on, lock screws on side are 1/4-20 thread stock also with shop made thumb knobs to tighten.
And, no, I havent used it yet ... will get around to that in a couple days, got some heavy home maintenance going on -- aka 'honeydos'
