Rotating Head Knurling Tool with 6 Knurls and Multi Pitch Design
Description
Description
Available In Two Different Sizes:
The 6-Wheel Multi-Head Lathe Knurling Tool is built for convenience and speed in metalworking operations. It features a rotating head with six knurling wheels, allowing quick changes between patterns without swapping tools—ideal for high-volume or varied jobs.
It comes in two configurations:
Holder Size: 3/8" x 7/8" x 5-1/2" (9.5 x 22 x 140 mm) Knurl Wheel Size: 5/8" x 5/16" x 7/32"
Holder Size: 1/2" x 1-1/8" x 6-1/2" Knurl Wheel Size: 3/4" x 3/8" x 1/4"
Crafted from high-Quality Tool Steel
This knurling tool is manufactured using premium high-quality tool steel, known for its exceptional strength, wear resistance, and durability. The tool steel composition ensures: Superior Hardness – Maintains sharp knurling edges for long-lasting performance. High Wear Resistance – Withstands repeated use without deformation or excessive wear. Excellent Toughness – Resists chipping and breakage, even under high-pressure applications. Corrosion Resistance – Designed to endure harsh working conditions, ensuring longevity
Versatile Knurl Dimensions
This 6-Wheel Multi-Head Knurling Tool offers flexibility with two knurl wheel size options:
5/8" x 5/16" x 7/32" – Fits holder size 3/8" x 7/8" x 5-1/2"
3/4" x 3/8" x 1/4" – Fits holder size 1/2" x 1-1/8" x 6-1/2"
Each wheel features a Medium pitch with Left-Hand (LH) and Right-Hand (RH) diagonal lines, forming a sharp and consistent diamond pattern on round workpieces. The tool supports 0.5 mm, 1.0 mm, and 1.5 mm pitch sizes, allowing for fine, medium, and coarse knurling, making it ideal for a wide range of machining tasks.
Use Of Knurling Tool
A 6-wheel knurling tool is used on a lathe machine to create textured patterns on cylindrical metal workpieces. Here's how it's used:
Use of 6-Wheel Knurling Tool:
- Purpose: Creates diamond-patterned textures for improved grip on parts like knobs, handles, and fasteners.
- 6 Wheels Function: Comes with 3 pairs of Left-Hand (LH) and Right-Hand (RH) knurls. You can easily switch between fine (0.5 mm), medium (1.0 mm), and coarse (1.5 mm) textures.
- Setup: Mounted on a tool post of the lathe; ensure it matches the tool post capacity.
- Operation: As the lathe rotates the workpiece, the knurling tool is fed slowly into the material. The spring-loaded clamp applies even pressure, pressing the wheels into the workpiece to roll the pattern without cutting.
- Advantages: Provides versatile knurling options in one tool. Reduces setup time by eliminating the need to change individual wheels. Suitable for both professional and hobbyist machinists.
Versatile Knurling Styles in One Tool
Coarse Pattern
- Appearance: Large, wide-spaced diamond shapes.
- Pitch: Low (1.5 mm).
- Use: Ideal for heavy-duty applications where a strong grip is essential—like tool handles or industrial knobs.
- Advantages: High traction, easy to grip even with gloves or oily hands.
Medium Pattern
- Appearance: Standard diamond size, evenly spaced.
- Pitch: Medium (1.0 mm).
- Use: Common for general-purpose components, combining good grip with a neat appearance.
- Advantages: Versatile—works for most applications requiring texture without being too aggressive.
Fine Pattern
- Appearance: Small, tightly spaced diamonds.
- Pitch: High (0.5 mm).
- Use: Used where precision and aesthetics matter more—such as instrument knobs or decorative pieces.
- Advantages: Smooth feel, detailed texture, great for smaller parts.
Each pattern is formed using Left-Hand (LH) and Right-Hand (RH) diagonal knurls that intersect to create a clean, diamond-shaped crosshatch texture on the cylindrical surface. The pitch (0.5 mm, 1.0 mm, or 1.5 mm) determines whether the result is fine, medium, or coarse.
Engineered for Efficiency: 6-Wheel Knurling Tool
The 6-Wheel Multi-Head Lathe Knurling Tool offers fast pattern switching with its rotating head and six knurls—ideal for high-volume machining.
