David:
Thanks… I did find a hand knurler at Enco, but I’m not sure how small it will go. I suppose a 2×4 and a file would work for smaller stuff. Again… thanks for keeping me straight. The last thing I want to do is to put uneeded wear on the Levin. I pulled apart the head stock today for the first time to clean it. The thing looks like new – I sure did get lucky with that purchase (unlike most of my endeavors). 
Thanks!
Tom
Oh… By the way… What is the recommended depth to take on the HF drill mill for brass and aluminum? The manual doesn’t tell me anything and I don’t want to blow a gear on that.
