General Introduction
1. General 1.1 Introduction
Please read through the Instructions for Use carefully before using the QUICK knurl cutting tools!
The instructions have been written for operators with qualified training in the field of machining and cutting.
Compliance with the Instructions for Use increases reliability in use,
increases the service life of the tools,
and prevents downtimes.
We reserve the right to make alterations to the technical details of the tools by comparison with the information and illustrations contained in these Instructions for Use. Swarovski Optik KG

General Tool Construction
1.2 Tool Construction
QUICK knurl cutting tools are easy to operate and flexible in use due to their design, and may be employed on all lathes from conventional to CNC-controlled automatic lathes, as a left-hand or right-hand tool depending on the type of tool.
The tools have a cutting action, are free-cutting and it is not possible to make them adopt a specific speed ratio to the diameter of the workpiece by means of sustained forcing. As a result the number of teeth of the knurl produced may differ. The difference is approx. +/- 1-3 teeth depending on the pitch.

General Tool Construction
Tool definition LA-model range LA knurl cutting tools are available in both right-hand and left-hand versions. Use only tools marked R (right-hand version) in holders for right-hand cutting tools and tools marked L (left-hand version) in holders for left-hand cutting tools. left right left right
Tool definition Mammut-model range Knurl cutting tools of the Mammut range are only available in a right-hand version.
Perfect results may be achieved with:
Correct adjustment
Closely following the instructions regarding the start of the knurling process
Appropriate feed and cutting speed
Selection of the correct tool size. QUICK knurl cutter tools with large dimensioned knurl cutters, e.g. Ø 42 mm instead of Ø 32, have a longer service life
NOTE: It is imperative to ensure an abundant supply of coolant or cutting oil directly onto the knurl cutters to ensure perfect cooling and lubrication of the knurl cutters.

Step 4: Clamp tool in tool holder
Step 5: Pre-adjust turning centre
The tool must be centered when used on conventional lathes.
NOTE: This adjustment does not apply when used on CNC machines as the tools are already centered.

LA-Tool Tool Adjustment LA/KF
Step 6: Re-align turning centre
Carefully bring into contact with the workpiece Both cutters must be in contact simultaneously.
Precision adjustment is carried out using adjusting screw 10
When adjusting by way of screw 10a, first loosen screw 10b and vice versa
Tighten the opposing screw again hand-tight when adjustment is complete
10a
10b Step 7: Adjust cutter The ideal position of the knurling cutters is when they lie parallel on the workpiece and still cut very slightly, i.e. the cutting edge of the cutters can be pressed in somewhat deeper (approx. 1-2°). In the case of materials which are hard to machine, the knurling cutters may be inclined up to max. 3-4°.
Sequence:
Unscrew clamping screw 8 Adjust scale ring 6 slightly towards the next
smaller diameter until the correct cutter setting is reached

ATTENTION: Under no circumstances knurl with longitudinal feed into the face edge of the workpiece. Starting the knurl within the workpiece can be done only in certain circumstances.
NOTE: Note that the protective bevel at the beginning of the workpiece may not be applied until knurling is complete.
The coarser the pitch, the smaller the feed. Feed and cutting speed have no effect on the knurl pitch.
NOTE: If the knurl is not accurate or is one-sided, then the knurling process may be repeated after correcting the tool.
Step 9: Knurling
The knurling depth corresponds to the pitch of the knurling cutter being used, e.g. 1.0 mm pitch requires 1.0 mm infeed with reference to the diameter. The depth is measured from the knurling cutter's point of contact with the workpiece.
The start of the knurl should be in a width no greater than 1,0 mm. With this width now move the tool to the full depth without interruption. The feed on infeeding should be approx. 0.05-0.1 mm.
Step 8: Start of knurl
After an idle time of 2-3 seconds, the workpiece is knurled by using the longitudinal feed. The surface deformation of the workpiece cannot be determined exactly as this is different from material to material. The knurling depth, however, should be sufficient to ensure that the knurl is only just sharp.

2.4 Tool Adjustment LA/FL
Preliminary:
Clamp workpiece and turn Maximum out-of-roundness 0.03 mm
Step 1: Cutter selection Straight knurl – right-hand tool: 1x 30° right-hand spiral toothed knurl cutter Straight knurl - left-hand tool: 1x 30° left-hand spiral toothed knurl cutter
NOTE: Right-hand tool requires the workpiece to rotate in a clockwise direction. Left-hand tool requires the workpiece to rotate in an anti-clockwise direction.
Spiral knurl:
Knurl cutters are to be mounted with 15°, 30° or 90° spirals depending on the pitch of the spiral desired on the workpiece. It is advisable due to the large number of possible variations to consult your dealer or the manufacturer.
Step 2: Install knurl cutters
Clean the contact surface of bushing 5 and cutter holder 1.1.
Coat bushing 5 and the face ends as well as the hole of knurl cutter 4 with a little Molykote G paste
With knurl cutter 4 and washer 3 pushed on, insert bushing 5 into the cutter holder

Knurl Cutters with Bevel
7. Knurl Cutters with Bevel A knurl cutter's teeth may break off when knurling "hard" materials. It is possible to increase the knurl cutter's service life by cutting a 45° bevel. This is only applicable for the KF and STR models. The drawing beside shows which knurl cutter may have bevel. Ø 32 mm and Ø 42 mm cutters are already produced with bevel.

Troubleshooting
8. Troubleshooting KF-Tools Knurl trailing spirally Look at start of knurl Look at knurling depth Tool tilted sideways -> check position Clearance of tool too positive or too negative
Overlapping of the knurl (double knurl) Incorrect adjustment of diameter Approach to knurl depth too slow as a result of which too
little guidance of knurl cutters in track Look at start of knurl
Teeth of knurl cutters knocked off Bevel knurl cutters with hard materials Knurl cutter has been overloaded too much feed, cutting
depth too great Incorrect adjustment of diameter Fixing screws of knurl cutters loose Look at adjustment of cutters
Unevenly deep knurl track Re-align position of head using spindle
Seizing of knurl cutters on bushing (see FL)
FL-Tools Knurl trailing spirally Correct position of head using precision adjustment
screws Look at start of knurl Look at knurling depth Tool tilted sideways -> check position Clearance of tool too positive or too negative
Overlapping of the knurl (double knurl) Approach to knurl depth too slow as a result of which too
little guidance of knurl cutters in track Look at start of knurl
Teeth of knurl cutters knocked off Knurl cutter has been overloaded feed too great, cutting
depth too great Fixing screws of knurl cutters loose Look at direction of rotation Look at adjustment of cutters
Seizing of knurl cutters on bushing Reduce cutting speed Use Molykote paste Coolant jet directly onto the knurl cutter

Troubleshooting
STR-Tools Knurl does not come up to the requirements Are the knurl cutters on the right holder? Tool head and workpiece axis are not aligned All three knurl cutters do not have the same cutting depth Knurl trailing spirally Look at start of knurl (turn a centering stepp) Look at knurling depth Tool tilted sideways -> check position Overlapping of the knurl (double knurl) Approach to knurl depth too slow as a result of which too
little guidance of knurl cutters in track Look at start of knurl Incorrect adjustment of diameter
Teeth of knurl cutters knocked off Bevel knurl cutters with hard materials Knurl cutter has been overloaded too much feed, cutting
depth too great Fixing screws of knurl cutters loose Incorrect adjustment of diameter
Seizing of knurl cutters on bushing Reduce cutting speed Use Molykote paste Coolant jet directly onto the knurl cutter
