TOOTH FORM
A knurled tooth is V-shaped and the depth of the tooth is less than the depth of a
theoretical V-form. The tooth has a rounded root and crest. The relationship between
the actual depth of tooth to the theoretical V varies with the pitch of the teeth. On
finer pitches, the tooth is a smaller proportion of the theoretical V-depth than coarser
pitches. Also, female diamond patterns have shallower tooth depth than male
diamond patterns.
RAPID offers 90° teeth angle as standard included pressure angle. As per customer
requirement RAPID manufacture custom teeth angle such as 80° & 60°.

CIRCULAR AXIAL PITCH

Distance from tooth to tooth in mm.

TPI
Number of teeth per inch (measured on a linear inch) or is derived from 1" divided by
the circular pitch.

DIAMETRAL PITCH
The number of teeth on the work divided by the theoretical work blank diameter.

In-Feed Knurling (Plunge) (CNC -"X")

Straight or diamond knurling can be produced by using either one or two knurls
mounted in a holder in the front or rear of the cross slide which applies direct
pressure to the work. Diamond knurls require greater pressure than straight or
diagonal knurls, sometimes placing prohibitive loads on both machine and work,
causing damage to the machine.

End-Feed Knurling (To Chuck) (CNC -"Z")

Straight, Helical, or Diamond knurling may be produced with knurling holders
mounted on the compound or turret. KNURLS USED FOR FEED KNURLING
SHOULD HAVE CHAMFERS. Only straight and diagonal knurls can be used with the
end-feeding knurling process. When producing helical and diamond knurling, the
helical knurls are held in the holder to obtain the helical and/or diamond knurling as
the knurls are fed over the blank.

KNURLING STANDARD
AS PER IS: 3403-1981 & DIN82

Profile Angle : Profile angle α = 90°

Pitch : P

Nominal Diameter d1 : The nominal diameter d1

stated in the workshop drawing shall be the outside diameter
of the finished knurl; this dimension is a function of the design.

Initial Diameter d2 : The initial diameter d2

of the work piece prior to knurling shall be smaller than the
nominal diameter d1, because the initial diameter undergoes
enlargement through displacement of the material during the
knurling operation.
The initial diameter d2 for knurls with profile angle α = 90° can be
calculated from the formulae in the following table, depending on
the type of knurl and the size of pitch:

TYPE OF KNURL INTL. DIA. d2

RAA Knurl with grooves parallel to axis

RBL Left-hand knurl d1- 0.5P

RBR Right-hand knurl

RGE Left-hand/right-hand knurl, points raised d1 - 0.67P

RGV Left-hand/right-hand knurl, points indented d1 - 0.33P

RKE Cross-knurl, points raised d1 - 0.67P

RKV Cross-knurl, points indented d1 - 0.33P

The factors in the formulae, however, do not take into account the
rounding of the grooves resulting from the knurling operation or
the specific properties of the materials to be knurled.

Designation : A cross-knurl, points indented ( Type RKV ) with pitch

P = 0.8 mm and conforming to this standard shall be designated
as: Knurl RKV 08 IS : 3468
