John makes a good point, I recall someone (Hopper?) suggesting to run a file over the finished knurl to take the rough edges off, it has been a while since I made the handles
Indeed it was. Was how apprentice toolmakers were taught to do it back in the ancient days of yore. A 10 flat single-cut mill file was the weapon of choice, used on the finished knurl spun in the lathe. Just enough to knock the sharp points and burrs off the knurls. Should be done as a matter of course on all knurling. Straight knurling works very well on things like cross slide dials and is easier again on the hands, after a touch up with the fine file. If you don t file it, a diamond knurl is basically like a rasp and I reckon you could use it to machine wood.

Messages of praise have been flooding in for teachers and schools from families across Dorset thanking them for all of their support during the pandemic. Teachers and educational staff have worked tirelessly to adapt and overcome the challenges and pressures of the pandemic whilst minimising the impact of lockdown on children s learning is one of their main priorities. Earlier in the week we asked families on the Bournemouth Daily Echo Facebook page if they had any schools or teachers they wanted to thank for their support during the pandemic.
