Dorian Tool 73310128145 Knurl Wheel 30 Tpi 90 Degree

Product Description

The DORIAN TOOL 73310128145 is a knurl wheel designed for use in manual and CNC lathe knurling operations. It produces a 30 TPI (teeth per inch) knurl pattern with a 90-degree included tooth angle, creating a standard diamond or straight knurl profile depending on the toolholder configuration. The wheel has a face width of 0.25 inches and a hole diameter of 0.5 inches for mounting to a standard knurling toolholder. Weighing 0.5 pounds, it is a single-wheel replacement or spare suited for production and maintenance machining environments.

This knurl wheel is used in lathe-based knurling applications on metal workpieces where a defined grip surface or decorative pattern is required. Typical applications include adding grip texture to hand-tightened fasteners, tool handles, and precision instrument components. It is installed by machinists and tool and die technicians working in job shops, production facilities, and maintenance machine shops. The 30 TPI pitch makes it appropriate for fine-detail knurling on smaller-diameter workpieces.

Key Features

• 30 TPI pitch for fine, well-defined knurl patterns on small to medium workpieces
• 90-degree included tooth angle for standard diamond or straight knurl profiles
• 0.25 inch face width allows precise knurl placement in tight workpiece areas
• 0.5 inch hole diameter fits standard knurling toolholder arbors
• Single-wheel quantity suitable as a replacement or spare for existing toolholders

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement or spare knurl wheel for standard lathe knurling toolholders accepting a 0.5 inch hole diameter wheel with a 0.25 inch face width.

Installation Notes

Knurl wheels are installed by machinists on lathe-mounted knurling toolholders. Power down and lock out the lathe before removing or installing any toolholder components. Ensure the wheel seats flush on the arbor with no lateral wobble before engaging the workpiece. Proper alignment of the knurl wheel to the workpiece axis is critical to achieving a clean, non-overlapping knurl pattern.
