I had all of Lewmar Ocean series ST winches (6) knurled at a local machine shop several years ago.
I just took the outside parts to them and with their help decided on a knurl that appeared to be a good compromise between grip and tearing up the line. Cost me $30 each and the grip is still great. It took over 15 years to smooth them out from when they were new so I figure I am good for another 10-15 years.

Mainly I would like to rejuvenate my Barient 24's to grip my new line better. I am looking for the cheapest and easiest solution. I am not above adding texture with a dremel to the drum or the self tailer. What has been your experience?
