6 979-282-2951 Tools Technical SupportFor Best Knurling Performance- Before beginning Knurling process check - Diameter before knurl- Diameter after knurl- Knurl pitch- Workpiece to be Set wheels on center of workpiece- Use beveled edge wheels when form Knurling - Use full face wheels when cut Knurling - Always use coolant when Knurling - The standard Knurling depth, is 35% of knurl circular Ex. Knurling Depth of 20 TPI KnurlCircular Pitch of 20 TPI is: Knurling Depth is: .050 x .035% =.0175 per sideMetric Ex. Knurling Depth of 2mm KnurlKnurling Depth is: 2mm x .035% =.7mm per side- If the knurl double tracks, knurl wheel is not deep enough in to workpiece, increase Knurling depth- If the knurl crest rolls over, the knurl wheel is to deep in to the workpiece, decrease Knurling depth- If the knurl is not tracking, workpiece diameter is not correct for full number of teeth, diameter must adjusted up or down by using a tracking In-Feed Knurling , when the knurl wheel enter into the workpiece radially.

7 Once the knurl wheel has reached the depth, will take from 5 to 20 revolution to complete the Knurling operation. The revolution changes for the same size with the workpiece material End-Feed Knurling , when the knurl wheel enter into the workpiece depth of the knurl wheel must be set before the wheel get in contact with the workpiece, the depth and pressure changes for the same size with the workpiece material Knurl Versus Cutting Knurl- In Forming Knurl, the knurl wheels axis are set parallel to the workpiece axis, and forced against workpiece displacing the material to form the knurl pattern - Large amount of pressure is required to displace the material that forms the knurl pattern, and pressure increase with workpiece diameter, pitch size and hardness - In a large workpiece diameter, large knurl pitch, and hard material, a multi Knurling pass may be required to achieve the correct knurl pattern- For best performance and quality in Forming Knurl, when possible, a Straddle Knurling tool is to used.

8 The pressure is divided within the knurl wheels over the workpiece, and pressure against the spindle of the machine is total Use beveled edge wheel when knurl forming- Use full face Knurled wheel when knurl cutting, the knurl wheels axis are set on negative angle, the sharp edge will cut the knurl pattern into the workpiece - In cutting knurl, less pressure is required for the operation, higher speed and feed can be used, (use the same cutting date of High Speed or Cobalt turning Tools )- Use full faced knurl wheel when knurl Forming Knurl tool for: Use Cutting Knurl tool for:- Small to medium workpiece diameter- To the shoulder Knurling - To centerless workpiece- To band Knurling application- W h e n h i g h s u r f a c e fi n i s h r e q u i r e d - Medium to large workpiece diameter- To shoulderless diameter Knurling - To hard workpiece materials- To long Knurling application with live center- For higher productivityKnurling Pitch Tracking FormulaStep Calculation Inch12345678910 TPID iameter of the part after knurlGrowth after Knurl based on pitchDiameter of the blank before knurlKnurl wheel diameter and pattern (Straight)Knurl wheel tracking valueNumber of teeth on the workpieceCorrectionSelect the full number of teeth on the work pieceKnurl wheel tracking valueNew starting diameter = number of teeth x tracking value 10.
