I haven't read the other replies but in shop class, back in the late 70's my machine shop teacher showed us that to protect knurled (or machined) surfaces when turning from the finished end, all we needed was a softer metal with a thick piece of paper or cloth. Just need enough shims for each pad that comes into contact with the part. We, typically, used brass shims because we had a lot of those in the shop.I have had parts that I need to knurl first in the order of operations then need to hold them in the chuck to do more work on it and not damage the knurling.
I have been using layers of paper towel wrapped with a thin brass piece and it works fairly well, sometimes need to adjust if it is not centered well,
Is there something else to wrap with or a different method?
