Default Knurling brass

Yep, that's the tool I have. I have yet to learn the proper way to set
up and use it.I do OK but not good enough for my taste. FWIW, the
position I'm using it is upside down to the picture in the catalog-the
adjustment nut is on top. I have not learned the art of controlling my
depth consistently from one piece to another or when to stop before
the knurls start being too deep. Can you travel with that tool? Wheels
should be at 12 and 6, right?

Hey Gerry,

What kind of knurl(er) do you have? The "scissors" or "adjustable"
type work very well and easily. For instance= = = =

Then pick KBC # and in the space above enter:

1-587X-1000

Take care.

Have any of you seen a source for pre-knurled brass rod? Thinking 1/2"
or 5/8" in pieces ling enough that I can chuck up in my lathe, drill
the center, thread and part off to make knurled nuts? Or any of you
know a source of knurled nuts with 2BA threads? I'm not so hot at
knurling and was looking for a shortcut to cut my lathe time down
