    I believe Olderdan is absolutely correct. Although I've never seen one like this I did a bit of searching and found this. If you pick on the link of "where to buy" it mostly looks like Europe and UK and doesn't surprise me that there is a Aussie made one. Here are some pics of other variations I found.

    The idea of it is quite good imho (brilliant actually) and by the looks of your bin of thumb screws it does a quality job!! This kind of process takes all the pressure off the compound as well as the work and would be a boon to small lathes.

    I was able to spot the duds you mentioned but wasn't clear if you used a bump or scissor type on those? I'm also curious of whether your system is a complete chuck assy that bolts to the spindle or has a spindle of it's own that can be chucked in a standard lathe chuck?? Also about whether there is some locking mechanism for the jaws. With a cut knurler like this I would assume you can set the jaws for full depth of cut and only make one pass??

    Thanks very much for sharing this with us, would love to see and know more about it to open the discussion to the possibilities of making one. There have been several inquiries here on HMT about making a cut Knurler.

    Thanks Again! ~PJ
