Hi everyone! This is my first post. I’m setting up my home machine shop. I just bought a beautiful Southbend Heavy 10 and a bunch of tooling at an auction.
One of the tools I misidentified as a fancy knurling tool. It turns out it’s a Reed B36 thread-forming tool.
Now I’m wondering if it CAN be used as a knurling tool, as the processes seem similar.
Has anyone ever done this? Are there different rolls used?
Thank you!
Jim
