Description / Abstract:
SCOPE AND PURPOSE
This Standard covers knurling tolls with standardized diametral
pitches and includes dimensional relations with stock in the
production of straight, diagonal, and diamond knurling on
cylindrical surfaces having teetch of uniform pitch parallel to the
axis of the cylinder or at a helix angle not exceeding 45 deg. With
axis of work. Such knurling is made by displacement of the material
on the surface when rotated under pressure against a knurling tool.
These tools and recommendations are equally applicable to general
prupose and precision knurling. In brief, the advantage of this
method is the provision by which good tracking (the ability of
teetch to mesh as the tool penetrates the work blank in successive
revolutions) is obtained by tools designed on the basis of
diametral pitch instead of tpi (teetch per inch) when used with
recommended work blank diameters that are multiples of
1/64 or 1/32 in.,
depending upon the pitch selected. This should improve the
uniformity and appearance of knurling, eliminate the costly trial
and error methods, reduce the failure of knurling tools and
production of defective work as well as decrease the number of
tools required.
