This standard BS 1759:1969 Specification for knurling wheels is classified in these ICS categories:

• 25.120.99 Other chipless working equipment

This British Standard specifies requirements for the design and manufacture of wheels intended to fit into a suitable holder, together forming a ‘ knurling tool for the production of a series of fine ridges, diamonds or teeth, on components generally of circular cross section.

The purposes for which these ridges or teeth can be used are as follows:

1. Ornamentation.
2. To provide a hand or finger grip.
3. To provide for fixture, location or interference, on non-precision or un-important assemblies, and the keying of inserts in castings and plastic mouldings.

Other types of knurling wheels, intended for any operations requiring greater precision than is necessary to produce the types of knurling given above, and those manufactured for use on components of unusual form, are not covered by the requirements of this British Standard, except that examples are given, together with a recommendation that they comply with the requirements for material and hardness; the clauses relating to dimensions and limits of tolerance on manufacture do not apply to these other types.

Dimensions, material, marking requirements for straight helical and diamond toothed wheels. Component diameters for given wheel sizes. Forms of wheel, knurling operations.
