Well Ken, theoretically, it does have a relationship: the pitch circle diameter of the part should be a multiple of the pitch of the knurl. However, in actual usage, there is so much flex in everything, that it is a practical impossibility to determine if the tool is beginning at the pitch circle depth, and staying there as it engages the work.
