You can make your own scissor knurler, too. Except the knurls. Unless you need something special, in which case you can make them, too. Depends how deep down that rabbit hole you want to go.?

? is a knurler you can make yourself, though they'll be happy to sell you one, if you prefer to buy. Yes, it's for mini-lathes, but most of the accessories I bought or made for my HF 7x10 fit the Atlas TH42 as well. MT3 Spindles, and MT2 Tailstocks, for example...? Some adapter plates for chucks and such.?

Expect in one hand, expectorate in the other. See which one gets full first.

As always, I really appreciate this site and the members.? Thanks for the info.? I did look at Shars, but in this case they are more expensive.? I think I will look into, when I get more hours under my belt, a scissors knurler.? I ordered the 10 piece system.? Maybe changing the knurling tool to a scissors type will be a future project for fun.? I also will definitely take it apart (and take pics!) and clean it first.

Merry Christmas!
