@BigAgitator The tooth spacing on your knurler needs to be a multiple of the stock diameter, or the knurl won't lay evenly. You can figure the math out to make it work (circumference = pi x diameter), and turn the stock diameter accordingly. For the highschool level, I don't worry about it too much.
use a thread pitch gage, that will give you your tpi.

the thing that bugs me is when they don't line up after a full revolution. Thoughts?

@gwellwood I understand this concept, but how do you measure the tooth spacing? Is it stated on the knurl wheels somwhere? Thanks.

@stillbashingmetal Just use a Vernier Caliper. I don't think the tooth spacing is usually marked or indicated.
