Abstract
A knurling tool has a planar face plate with an orifice for receiving a workpiece therethrough. Slide blocks are slidably mounted in opposing planar slots in the face plate. Each slide block has a slot with a knurl bit mounted therein so that the knurl bits extend into the face plate orifice for pressing against the surface of the work piece. An adjustment screw is provided to adjust each slide block longitudinally along the slot in which it is mounted and to provide a means of forcing the knurl bit against the workpiece surface. A clamping screw is also provided to clamp each slide block in its slot. A machine mounting apparatus is also provided for attaching the tool to a machine such as a milling machine, lathe, or other such machine.
Claims6
A knurling tool assembly for impressing a piece of stock using a stock working machine comprising:
- a planar face plate having a stock receiving orifice of a preselected diameter therethrough and further having a pair of angularly cross-sectioned slots extending from the stock receiving orifice into the planar face plate in the plane thereof;
- a pair of interchangeable slide blocks, each slide block being slideably positioned in a different one of the slots and having a length along the slot which is less than the diameter of the stock receiving orifice, each slide block having a first end extending into the stock receiving orifice;
- a pair of knurls each knurl rotatably mounted in the first end of a different one of the slide blocks;
- and
- machine mounting means attached to the face plate for mounting the knurling tool to the stock working machine.
A knurling tool assembly for impressing a piece of stock using a stock working machine comprising:
- a planar face plate having a stock receiving orifice of a preselected diameter therethrough and further having a pair of angularly cross-sectioned slots extending in opposite directions from the stock receiving orifice into the planar face plate in the plane thereof;
- a pair of slide blocks, each slide block being slideably mounted in a different one of the slots, each slide block having a first end extending into the stock receiving orifice;
- a pair of knurls, each knurl rotatably mounted in the first end of a different one of the slide blocks, and
- machine mounting means attached to the face plate for mounting the knurling tool to the stock working machine.
