Machine Knurling Tool

Machine knurling tools are cutting tools used in metalworking machinery, specifically in machine tools. They are designed to create a knurled pattern on the surface of a workpiece. Knurling is a process that involves pressing a pattern of straight or diagonal lines onto a material, typically metal, to improve grip or aesthetics.

Machine knurling tools consist of a holder or body that holds the knurling wheels or dies. The knurling wheels have a pattern of teeth or ridges that are pressed into the workpiece as it rotates. The knurling process can be performed on various materials, including steel, aluminum, brass, and plastic.

These tools are commonly used in applications where a textured surface is required for better grip, such as on handles, knobs, or tooling. They can also be used for decorative purposes, adding a unique pattern to a workpiece.

When selecting a machine knurling tool, factors such as the desired knurling pattern, material hardness, and machine compatibility should be considered. Different knurling patterns, such as diamond, straight, or diagonal, can be achieved by using different knurling wheels or dies.

Overall, machine knurling tools are essential cutting tools in the metalworking industry, enabling the creation of textured surfaces for improved functionality and aesthetics.
