Thanks guys - the knurling discussion was interesting even though i don’t have a lathe.
But I’d really like to know: what is a “hillbilly tool grinder”? I assume it’s a home made disc grinder accessory - but to assume is dangerous.

I thought the same thing so I searched his posts to find it, pretty dang sweet

The straight wheels in a clamp knurling tool do a very nice job with very little pressure required.

Is that steel you knurled? It looks yellow but that might be a reflection.

Yes its mild steel.
