Cross slide knurling tools are used on single-spindle screw machines, multi-spindle screw machines, turret lathes and CNC lathes.

This tool has a floating, self-centering design to compensate for any center misalignment, and can be mounted on either front or back tool posts in the same manner as circular form tools. Simple and easy to adjust, its design permits knurling and thread rolling close to the collet, and dual rollers provide support for the workpiece eliminating the need for an auxiliary support tool.
