5. BEGINNING TO KNURL
While the chuck is rotating at the speed recommended at point 8, feed the
tool so that 1/3 of the width of the knurling wheels gets in contact with the
workpiece.
Press the knurls against the workpiece. The value of the radial feed must
be according to the conditions recommended on the point 8. After that, you
will be able to feed longitudinally.
To calculate up to what diameter we must deepen with the knurls, we must
take into account the height of the tooth (in the case of standard knurls is
always equal to half the step) and the increase in diameter that suffers the
material.
That information is available at www.integi.com and in our catalog.
6. BEFORE AND DURING WORKING PROCESS
Make sure that the knurl pins are firmly fastened.
Check that the knurls run free and lubricate them with graphite grease.
Always apply plenty of coolant, lubricant or cutting oil.
The working direction, longitudinal advance, will always be against the tool.
