Congratulations to Mr. G. Rosén of Sweden!

Posted by Doug Gray on

Mr. G. Rosen of Sweden has just completed his heavy Duty Knurling Tool Kit and it looks like he has done a fantastic job!

Göran did a few mods to accommodate his smaller lathe. He was kind enough to send along an email and some photos.

 

Hello Doug,

I finished the knurling tool yesterday and it looks and works really well.

My lathe is a small mounted Sieg SC4-510 model and the size forced me to make a few changes to your design which I list below.

However, the design works very well, but will probably be more suitable for one size larger lathes.

My changes to the knurling tool are as follows:

  1. Body plate (1), the nice looking fillets had to go because I needed that space in the toolholder.
  2. Compression spring (12) changed to one made of thinner gauge wire and a wee bit softer. It could therefore be compressed more so I could work on material with a smaller diameter.
  3. To avoid the slack between arms (2) and spring collars (7) I added a suitable O-ring on each spring collar as per picture 4.

I am now looking forward to starting work on the two Machinist Clamps.

Will try to give you a message when they are finished, but it might take some time as I am also building a twin cylinder stationary steam engine constructed by a friend of mine living in Finland.

All the best regards,

Göran
