Im no machinist but I helped my great uncle build planes, who was one. Every time I used and kind of a chuck, be it drill, drill press or lathe he always made me tighten every side of it. That way you are centered, and your work piece or drill bit will not spin. Keep up the good work and I hope this may help you in the future.
It looked like a chuck where all the jaws close at the same time at the same speed. If you're using a 4-jaw chuck you usually need to tighten them individually for more precision. 3-jaw chucks (and apparently 6-jaw chucks; never seen one before) usually have a simultaneous tightening mechanism. But I do agree with you. I mostly use 4-jaw chucks for their higher precision expect for some quick turning (replacement screws, etc)
I’m going to school to be a machinist, I finished my first year with a B average, but I don’t have a summer job at a machine shop, so I hope I don’t forget everything for the second year.. before this year I never touched a machine in my life. Wish me luck.

I've been knurling for 30 years, and have always had problems with knurls that have to be forced into the stock from one direction using the tool post and cross slide. Once I got a scissor style knurl, my problems went away. Scissor style knurls don't apply any force on the tool post. The problem I would get is I would get double hits, where the knurl would hit in between the previous mark as the stock rotated, thereby doubling the knurl pitch. With a Scissor style knurl, this is eliminated by clamping the two knurls heavy into the stock BEFORE turning on the lathe. In this manner, the first dents are deep enough so that on the next rotation the knurl falls right into the previous dent, thereby eliminate the double hit. Try this and you will like it. It is much more dependable - for me anyway.

How is the master patten knurling tool made? It looks like to me like two spirals in opposing left/right hand directions, sort of like right/left hand drill bits. I know little about machining parts, so this is just a guess.
He knurled a lot of part and one of the finished part was done good as pattern. Although he didn't mention about "which diameter" should have learned to make it in lower speed and with more oil. "Why" friend; surface area is greater
Engineering question: Does the diameter of the knurling tool have to be equal to the diameter of the shaft being knurled? It seems to me that if the circumference of the two is not the same then each rotation would cause destructive interference with the previous rotation.
At first I was saying..toooo fast !!! Then I was like....just waiting for that rag to catch something spinning. Dad used to say.."respect the machine because it has no prospect for you"!!!
Dude! You obviously know what you are doing but why no narration? You have knowledge and we seek it. You might ponder a different format. Best of luck!
Joseph, thanks for your message. The video format was "processed" by youtube within download, not taking in mind my intentions... Narration, ...ehm . I am not native English speaking, plus my pronunciation is sure terrible. Additionally subtitles allow me a bit ponder on content. Maybe in near future I'll send my voice to universe. :-)
The diameter of the tool does not have to match with the workpiece. And it does not line up since the two wheels have opposite "profile". And because the profile is simple lines it does not matter where they overlap. Hope you did understand my explanation.
It is simple lines but I don't understand how it would line up in all cases. Let's for arguments sake say, there's a total of 10 lines on the circumference of the nurling tool and it's circumference is exactly 10mm, so each line is 1mm wide. What if the workpiece has a circumference of for example 10.5mm? You can't put an integer number of 1mm lines on that. You end up with 0.5mm "left over".
my understanding is that with sufficient pressure on the workpiece the knurling tool works into the nearest rational "harmonic" and is stable there; the diameter of the workpiece is usually much larger than the pitch of the knurl, so this harmonic condition is easily satisfied.... it takes more than one revolution to get there, though.
Do the diameter of the knurling tool and the diameter of the target piece have to be a multiple of each other, and does it just work with no assumption on the diameters ? Also I don't understand how it can make a consistent pattern while the lathe is feeding. Does it just work ? Does it align itself with the previous pattern or something ?
The diameter/girth of work piece and knurling wheel have to be multiple....Yes and No. There are a knurling calculators available for download or online, but I never used them. The friction force while knurling process act the lubricated knurling wheel pattern slide to the corresponded already created groves. Important is to apply enough force during start phase. Yes it does align itself with the previous pattern during horizontal progress. Just take a piece of scrap material and try knurling yourself to get necessary "feeling" and practice!
I needed to use a larger tool the other day......I took the original tool post and cut the bottom portion of the base. It allows the tool to fit and the other side is intact.
Be Careful of that live center backing off due to light chuck pressure. Can cause you a good smack from a tool or work item.. It started walking at 3:06. God Bless, stay safe.

Is it just me or did the center either move to the right, or the stock move to the left. When you finished, the stock was clearly not engaged in the center any more.
I'm a professional precision machinist so let me clarify this, you do not have to have a fresh surface,as long as it is not rusted or has nothing on it that will cause the tool to stop working then you may proceed with knurling. Just be sure to oil your tool and part and have a file card running along the back of the knurl as it is turning to remove any debris from the knurl.
I am afraid using a standard quality pattern wheels is knurling hardened steel not possible. The knurled material surface have to "flow" under the pattern wheel preasure. I suggest harden your steel next to knurling operation.

Interesting. Always wanted to know how its done. Now somebody has to show a video of how the knurling tool is made :-)
I do suppose the knurling tool (wheels) are made similar way from master pattern wheel, than hardened.
Have a look at Clickspring's channel. He does some crazy high precision machining and he made his own knurling wheels.

haha... Was listening to elvis just before clicking on your video! Good job.
Do the knurlink with a slower rotation and a lot of oil :)
Because that's a better way to knurl
He knurled a lot of part and one of the finished part was done good as pattern. Although he didn't mention about "which diameter" should have learned to make it in lower speed and with more oil. "Why" friend; surface area is greater
i agree you
I've never knurled at that high rpm even on a small diameter like that. Maybe he taps in high gear too..
Typically 1/4 speed rotation and speed up the feed rate.
Engineering question: Does the diameter of the knurling tool have to be equal to the diameter of the shaft being knurled? It seems to me that if the circumference of the two is not the same then each rotation would cause destructive interference with the previous rotation.
"The same" seems to me a too strong condition, i would say better : "integer multiple" ?
Once knurled the od will be bigger than before and the material is being pushed out by the knurl
That's what l wondered when he turned it up to really bloody fast, now l just wonder if somebody is going to answer it properly
Nice video!

Does the diameter of the nurling tool have to match the diameter of the work piece? How does it line up exactly again after one rotation?
The diameter of the tool does not have to match with the workpiece. And it does not line up since the two wheels have opposite "profile". And because the profile is simple lines it does not matter where they overlap. Hope you did understand my explanation.

What if the workpiece has a circumference of for example 10.5mm? You can't put an integer number of 1mm lines on that. You end up with 0.5mm "left over".
superdau the lines are at an angle, so the tool just moves up along the rod enough to get an exact match each rotation.
Edit: autocomplete error
Angled or not doesn't matter. You must have an integer number of lines on the workpiece or else they just won't match up.
my understanding is that with sufficient pressure on the workpiece the knurling tool works into the nearest rational "harmonic" and is stable there; the diameter of the workpiece is usually much larger than the pitch of the knurl, so this harmonic condition is easily satisfied.... it takes more than one revolution to get there, though.

How much for a lathe that size also what's its max Rpm?
I paid for the lathe itself little over 1000,- EUR. The max rpm are 2200, but from practical experience is much important the lowest rpm and torque.

Let me guess: Knurling thin-wall stuff is a bad idea because it makes sharp stress concentrations, right?
