Very nice design & drawings.     I especially like removing the stress from the cross slide.

What is the largest diameter it is designed to knurl?

One comment/suggestion.  I'd add the 10-32 bolt hole pattern on the back/bottom of the holder which would enable one to mount it 90 degrees from the existing design.  I think it would give the knurler more options for mounting and probably reduce tailstock extension making the set-up more rigid.  That would be especially advantageous to those with smaller (< 10") lathes.

Thanks,

Stan

Thanks Stan.

The largest diameter that can be knurled is 2".

I'm not sure what you mean by adding a bolt hole pattern to the bottom. Also what do you mean by "tailstock extension"? The tool is meant to mount in a quick change tool post.

Tom,

What I'm attempting to communicate is to allow mounting on the side of the QCTP rather than, as I take it, on the front.  It appears to me one would need to extend the tail stock a fair amount in order to clear the holder.  Moving it to the side should reduce the amount of tail stock extension.

BTW, thanks for the info on the capacity.
