Knurling Cutter

Knurling tool holders are specialized tools used in machining to create textured patterns, called knurls, on the surface of cylindrical workpieces. The tool holder typically supports one or more knurling wheels, which press into the material to form patterns such as straight, diamond, or angled lines. These patterns improve grip and aesthetics, often found on handles, knobs, and metal surfaces.

Key characteristics of knurling tool holders include:

1. Adjustable Design: Many holders allow for adjusting the pressure of the knurling wheels to accommodate different workpiece diameters.

2. Robust Construction: Usually made from hardened steel for durability under high pressure and repeated use.

3. Multiple Sizes: Available in various sizes to fit different lathes and workpiece diameters.

4. Types of Knurling: Can support cutting (chip-forming) or forming (non-chip-forming) knurling, depending on the desired outcome and material properties.

5. Mounting: Designed to be easily mounted on tool posts or turret holders of a lathe for precise and secure operation.

Knurling tool holders are essential for achieving uniform and precise knurling patterns with minimal effort in machining processes.
