Knurling is a machining process normally carried our on a centre lathe. The act of Knurling creates a raised criss cross pattern on a smooth round bar that could be used as a handle, or something that requires extra grip
It is a diagonal crosshatching of grooves cut into a metal, usually for a handle or knob, to improve one's ability to grip the handle or knob.
It can also be used to "rough up" a surface before installing a sleeve over an undersized shaft.

it is an old machine.It can be ised for various operations like turning,taper turning,knurling,slotting,facing,threading etc. But it can be used mostly only for cylindrical jobs. you can find it in many small workshops.
The lathe is one of the engineers' most valuable tools. Coupled with a milling machine or milling head (Tri-axis lathe) there is nothing that cannot be produced from virtually any kind of material.A lathe can be used to:# Turn an ornate wooden spindle# Skim a cylinder head or other gasket-face# Put a screw-thread on a piece of metal bar# Drill a hole of almost any size in almost any material# Machine an intricate valve, collet or gudgeon# Put a screw-thread INSIDE a hole (Tap the hole)# Produce a complex component such as a cog-wheel, crown wheel or pinion# Re-bore the cylinder of an engine# Create irregular / offset flanged components of infinite complexity.# Turn-down a piece of tooling to fit a specific tool.The list is almost endless. There isn't much you cant do with a lathe, especially if it has a milling head! (Engineers wet dream!)
We use the lathe machine for facing, knurling, grooving, etc... n gen we use all these processes after foundry and casting of a object... We can use lathe for threading, cutters etc.....
The knurling gives the fingers a better, non-slip grip.
There are four types of knurling: 1 Annular 2 linear 3 diamond shape 4 combination of above three

There is no mention of the knurling features on the dumbells. More attention is paid to the ergonomic-hardened handle fashioned in chrome.

The knurled surface is easier to turn with one's hand than a smooth surface.
I have seen it done on the show " How It's Made" where the work piece was rolled across a plate which embossed the knurled pattern onto the work piece. I am currently looking for a knurling plate to use as an embossing or roller printing surface for jewelry making, does anyone know where I can get one?
A knurl /nərl/ is a small projecting knob or ridge, especially in a series around the edge of something.
It is a machine tool which spins a block of material to perform various operations such as cutting, sanding, knurling, drilling, use to create an object which has symmetry about an axis of rotation. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lathe_(tool)
Reasons someone might need to use a clamping knob include adjusting lobes, knurling, wings and texturing. You can learn more about the various types of clamping knobs online at the Jwwinco website.
