Value Collection EPLX096BN Knurl Wheel 1/2 in 36 Tpi

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION EPLX096BN is a beveled face knurl wheel designed for use in lathe-based knurling operations. This form-type knurl wheel produces a left-hand diagonal pattern and is manufactured from cobalt with a ferritic nitrocarburized finish for extended wear resistance. The wheel measures 0.5 inches in diameter with a 3/16 inch face width and a 3/16 inch hole diameter. It operates on the diametral pitch system at 96 diametral pitch and 36 TPI, with an included tooth angle of 90 degrees and a 30-degree helix angle. It carries 48 teeth and belongs to the EP series. Machinists and tool operators working on precision turning applications install this wheel directly onto compatible knurling tool holders.

This knurl wheel is suited for form knurling applications on manual or CNC lathes where a beveled face, left-hand diagonal pattern is specified. It is commonly used when producing decorative or grip-enhancing knurled surfaces on cylindrical workpieces in production or job shop environments. The EP series designation indicates its dimensional series classification, and the ferritic nitrocarburized finish improves surface hardness and corrosion resistance for use across a range of workpiece materials. This is a single wheel sold individually.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement knurl wheel for use in EP series knurling tool holders that accept a 3/16 inch bore and 0.5 inch diameter wheel.

Installation Notes

Knurl wheel installation is typically performed by machinists on manual or CNC lathes. Power down and de-energize the machine before removing or installing the wheel. Ensure the mounting arbor or holder is clean and free of debris before seating the wheel. Consult the knurling tool holder manufacturer specifications for proper clamping and alignment procedures.
