Graham Mfg Co Double Knurling tool


 

Along with an Atlas 10F I purchased, the owner had 3 boxes of assorted items that he believed went with the Atlas.? He was the second owner and didnt know much about it.? As I have made my way through the items, I came across this tool. Many of the items are not for the lathe and I am scratching my head with this one. Is this knurling tool meant for installation in the tail stock?? The tail is not tapered, it is 5/8" round the entire length on mine, and is centered where the two knurled intersect.??

I loaded my pic also here is an example (the only example) I could find of the tool online.? The item is sold but the picture is better quality than my phone pic.? Any help appreciated.

Bryan, I have a hex (production) turret that has 5/8" holes for the tools. I wonder if that knurl tool isn't intended to be used in such a turret and fed in axially along the lathe centerline?? ?Bill in Boulder?

This knurling tool was used in screw machines and turret lathes. This could be used on your lathe if desired. A collet chuck arbor in the tailstock would work. A boring holder in a quick change tool post would also be good! The great thing about this tool is by moving the knurls you can coin, diamond, and single angle knurl in either direction!


 

Steven: thanks for the information and especially the suggestions.? I'm very new to this so the specific ideas to make it work are very helpful.

See Mr Pete222 you tube channel. I believe that that is his favorite style of knurling tool?
