General Introduction
1. General 1.1 Introduction
Please read through the Instructions for Use carefully before using the QUICK knurling tools!
The instructions have been written for operators with qualified training in the field of machining and cutting.
Compliance with the Instructions for Use increases reliability in use,
increases the service life of tools,
and prevents downtimes.
We reserve the right to make alterations to the technical details of the tools by comparison with the information and illustrations contained in these Instructions for Use.

General Tool Construction
1.2 Tool Construction
B-series tools are flexible in use and may be employed on all lathes from the conventional to CNC-controlled multiple-spindle lathes, optionally as a left-hand or right-hand tool, in front or behind the turning centre. The tools press the corresponding knurling shape by cold forming on the workpiece, thus providing chipless machining.
It is not possible to make them adopt a specific speed ratio to the diameter of the workpiece by means of sustained forcing. As a result the number of teeth of the knurl produced may differ. The difference is approx. +/- 1-3 teeth depending on the pitch.

General Tool Construction
Applications
Machining of cold formable materials
All knurling shapes and knurling profiles are possible with a single tool
Knurling is possible as far as the flange or workpiece shoulder
The tool can be applied to any point on the workpiece
Tool definition
Definition of the tool as left- or right-handed is determined by the position of the knurling wheels when the tool is viewed from the front in the clamped position. left right left right
Clamping
Clamping of the tool body on the shank is effected by means of an eccentric chuck. The surface clamping generated as a result reduces the vibrations arising due to machining and increases the service life of the knurling wheels. Shanks and bodies may be individually assembled easily and without much effort by the customer himself.

General Tool Construction
Perfect results may be achieved with:
Correct adjustment
Closely following the instructions regarding the start of the knurling process
Appropriate feed and cutting speed
NOTE: It is imperative to ensure an abundant supply of coolant or cutting oil directly onto the knurling wheels to ensure perfect cooling and lubrication of the knurling wheels.

Step 3: Pre-adjust turning centre
For centring of the tool, the mark M on the shank must be aligned with the mark on the head. The mark in the middle of the head should be
selected for use in conventional machines The outer marks should be selected for use in
CNC machines depending on the shaft dimensions.

Step 7: Start of knurl
TIP: Longitudinal knurling The start of the knurl should be in a width no greater than 1.5 mm. With this width, now move the tool to the full depth (X-axis) without interruption. The feed on infeeding should be approx. 0.1 mm. The knurling depth corresponds to the pitch of the knurling cutter being used, e.g. 1.0 mm pitch requires 0.5 mm infeed with reference to the diameter. The infeed is measured from the knurling cutter's point of contact with the workpiece.

After an idle time of 2-3 seconds, the workpiece is knurled by using the longitudinal feed. For feed rate values, see table on page 21.
The surface deformation of the workpiece cannot be determined exactly as this is different from material to material.
The knurling depth, however, should be sufficient to ensure that the knurl is only just sharp.
NOTE: Please ensure that the protection facing on the start of the workpiece can only be applied after knurling has taken place.
The coarser the pitch, the smaller the feed. Feed and cutting speed have no effect on the knurl pitch.
Step 8: Knurling
NOTE: If the knurl is not accurate or is one-sided, then the knurling process may be repeated after correcting the tool.
