Making a Knurling Tool for the Lathe 1080p_50fps_H264-128kbit_AAC

In this video im making a knurling tool for the lathe. I needed to make a straight knurling for my combination lock video on my main channel. I did use my friends knurling tool in a previous video as its good to have your own I decide to make one. I bought two straight knurling wheels and now I only need to make a holder for them to use it on the lathe. The first thing I did was making a drawing of it with all the measurements and tolerances. Once I knew the dimensions of the finished part I could organize the material. As material I choose a heat treatable steel 36CrNiMo6 1.6582. The good thing about this steel is you cant overheat it when hardening and ruin the hardening as Im just going to harden it with a blowtorch thats perfect. The piece was much bigger in the beginning than it actually needed to be but thats no problem Ill just take a few cuts more and make some more chips. I got this part for free from my friend so I was happy to get started. First I turn the part to lenght on the lathe 120mm. Next I did mill it to its dimension 20x25mm once I had this done I took out the step 5x95mm. Then I milled the slot for the knurling wheel. Once I got that I only needed to make the hole for the pin and cut the thread which will hold the pin. After the machining I did the heat treatment. Heat it up to around 800C cherry hold the temperature for a moment and quench the part in oil. After that I needed to temper it to take a bit of its hardness and stress away. Because of the high temperatur of the quench the part turns black but it wont stick properly and start to peel of. So I cleaned it all up with Scotch Brite and then I used the bluing liquid to give it a nice and even black finish. The final test worked very well. By the way I didnt clamp the knurling tool 90 to the part I clamped it at 91. This way only the right edge of the wheel will cut to the final diameter which gives it a much nicer finish. I hope you like my work and the video.
