Machining operation that consists in creating combination of horizontal, vertical or crossing lines on the surface of material. The operation is performed for producing indentations on a part of a workpiece. Knurling allows hands or fingers to get a better grip on the knurled object than would be provided by the originally smooth metal surface. |

Key Points
|
Knurling tools can be one roll or two rolls (as shown in the sample on the right). We can pilot either Left, Center or Right position of the roll. Then 2 types of motions are possible, straight path or by pecking move. |
