I think that he was talking about putting a knurl pattern of a
flat surface by moving it under the knurling tool held in the mill's
locked spindle.

Guy Lautard's book _The Machinist's Third Bedside Reader_
has a write up on flat knurling.

Do you want to know how to:

* fit a backplate to a lathe chuck?
* use an edgefinder to best advantage, and how to "Pick
up" an edge in a hurry?
* hold a gib strip for machining?
* pull a tee in the wall of a pipe?
* get broken taps out of aluminum?
== * knurl the edge of a rectangular block?===
* file off that last half thou?
