I'm more worried about "Can I do it on a wood lathe without messing up the lathe because it's not mine" than I am about spending the $25 bucks. I'm pretty sure if I buy that knurling tool, a few people in the area with pasta machines are going to come calling....

I was gonna say the same thing, if you got the knurling tool I would definitely bite the bullet and convert the one I have...

Might be a stupid question, in fact I know it is, but how does one go about using a knurling tool? Just press it up against the roller while it spins? Any tips?
I have used them, and basically yes, that's what you do, but there's more pressure there than you could ever do by hand. They do sell hand knurlers though...they look like a big pipe cutter, but I think they're pretty pricey.
I have a wood lathe that I don't use... too bad we don't live close to each other.

Square stock wouldn't work...the hole is round with just a slot for the tang on the handle. However, the shank of a cheap screwdriver might work. All you'd have to do is break the handle off...viola...instant round driveshaft with the correct drive tang on it! (Although I think the handle has only one and the screwdriver (we're talking handle end here) would have two so one might need to be ground off.
good thinking. i couldnt tell and was at work when i posted that. now to find out of this works and finding those old POC screwdrivers i have.

Since you obviously have more wood lathe experience than me (you have some) what do you think of my plan for the whole putting this thing on the lathe plan?
well, you'll need to make some kind of mount for the knurling tool holder which will force the tool in to the roller... so, make a support that pushes back on the opposite side of the roller and you should be good to go.Does the wood lathe have a chuck or mounting plate...or screw? Chuck is easy to use, either of the other two would give you a mild challenge to figure out how to hold the roller centered to turn it. You'd maybe have to actually just use hand power to turn it too, I doubt a wood lathe would go slow enough under power, but that's no big issue.
