I have done a bit of manual knurling on a lathe but have not had the opportunity to try it in a cnc lathe. I have a job in the future coming up and wanted to start preparing for it, and am wondering if those with experience can shed some tips and trick (feeds & speeds), and also shed some light on some different style holders, etc. Bump knurling vs. straddle or scissor type. Also cut vs. formed knurls. The job is out of aluminum so I don't see it being to difficult. This will be done in a ST-10 with 1" 6061 bar stock, part length is .6" How might one of you approach this. I appreciate your help.
