Knurling on an SL30

djm77 · Apr 16, 2012

Hi guys,

I have just been given a job that requires some knurling on the OD. Now I have only ever knurled on a CNC lathe once in my life before about 12 years ago and that was a straight Knurl not a typical diamond one like the current job I have.

I was wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction for speeds feeds etc for 316st/st

I will probably do this on our Haas SL30 due to the quantity.

Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.

Thanks CNSEE. I have Z travel but my try your plunging in the X axis only idea to see what happens. I take it your feed is in inches? Other wise that is pretty slow in metric.

I should be starting the job sometime tomorrow so once all the cursing is over hopefully I'll be able to come back on here with tales of success.

Your speeds and feeds worked a treat CNSEE, thanks very much for your help. I did use Z travel in the end to move + and - a little and the knurls came out pretty good, even if I do say so myself.
