Knurling Wheel
- Thread starter ddickey
- Start date
Very interesting. I was very careful with the feed my first time. I saw a YouTube video that said no more than 0.015" for the first placement, then 0.003" per pass. The 0.003" can end up being a lot (lots of hard work for the lathe).Got everything centered wheels just barely started to rotate on the work piece. Moved the knurler off of the workpice and turned both wheels in a half turn. The screw pitch was .055" so half of that x2 brings us back to a depth of .055" way to much and just destroyed the wheels. Total operator error.
These were the wheels.
