A little do-dad

Yowsa! I just checked my local supplier. The K-201 is $450 new. Gulp!
 
I'm assuming you have an AXA size tool post. The smallest shank K1-44 & K1-201 comes in is 5/8" according to their current catalog. I could of sworn they used to come in 1/2" but not for sure. You want the RH configuration shank. Since you'll need to use an oversized AXA holder to mount the 5/8" shank don't get the center configuration shank, you may not be able to get low enough to reach spindle center line. The p/n would be K1-44-10-0625R-E which is the E series. L series is the one that can knurl up to a shoulder. But it uses different wheels & mounting pins.

I only use Accu-trak convex knurling wheels (better for axial feeding) but I'm sure the Eagle Rock/Knurlcraft wheels are good too.

That would be about the price of the K1-44. The K1-201 is usually around $200.
 
Oh, I'm assuming that's CAD?

I remember the K1-201 being about $180 & the K1-44 about $330 USD but that was yrs ago. Prices could have gone up.

DIY Knurler

Here's a project I completed some time ago. It's a scissor knurler, made from bits and pieces again. I bought the two knurling wheels on ebay and made the rest myself. No mill, so made it using the lathe, linisher and files. The most difficult part was cutting the slot in the middle section...

Then there's my 'kludge' style knurler. (which is in need of a design revision...)

Kant-Twist Knurling Tool - My take.

Here's my take on modding a Kant-Twist for a scissors style knurler. Been messing with knurling Ø1" copper and brass tubes. Consistency with 'bump' knurlers has not been attainable, at least not with my skill level. Bought an import 3-position fine-medium-course, bought some US made wheels and...

What vendor are we using/supporting For Eagle rock, and Accu-trak
 
Me personally I would look at MSC, All Industrial, or Ajax cause they are reputable vendors I have dealt with. MSC is on my list only cause I have a local MSC outlet & my sales rep always gives me discounts. I have not checked prices on them lately though.

Accu-Trak you have to buy direct from them. Great company. I always phone in my orders.
 
Thanks Will, MSC always seems to be expensive for shipping, and handling, but I'll check, thank you
