Introduction Module two of this course covers turning. This is the fourth unit in module two and explains how to set up a knurling tool and perform knurling operations. Knurling is used on cylindrical components to provide hand or finger grip, which can be used on tools and machine parts. The knurled finish also improves the appearance of the part. Two patterns can be produced, Diam
