Knurler made in Austria

This seems so logical when you see it. But my impression from looking at the angled Knurling wheels is that would want to rapidly self feed, true? Then there's no backing up? And you have to back the adjustment off to get it free of the work? Then you have to reset for each run?

I've never knurled anything so it's a purely academic thing yet.

Self feed doesn't happen with this Quick knurler. No need to back off the adjustment, you just reverse the lathe, being sure to blow off any chips otherwise they get mashed into the work...No need to reset because once you have the correct depth of cut set you just lock it in , but a chamfer at the start is good for a nice start.
