Wood Lathe Parting Tool<\/h1>\n

General description<\/h2>\n

Parting tool is a long flat tool with a certain tip that allows you to set the depth of the cuts. It can be of different sizes from 1\/16\u201d to 1\/4\u201d, although some tools might be wider than that if purposes differ from the ordinary ones. To increase the strength of the cut the blade of the parting tool is wide, and the cross-section has the rectangular shape.<\/p>\n

The parting tool can be of three types\u2013diamond, rectangular, and thin. The most popular and common type is the diamond one. As the name suggests the diamond type has a diamond shape that minimizes frictions. The diamond part is thicker in the middle, so it doesn\u2019t bind up on the wood. It is one the best tools for novices.<\/p>\n

Purposes of the parting tool and how to use it to fulfil these purposes<\/h2>\n

Making a simple slot<\/h3>\n

There is no special technique for it, simply introduce the tool and start cutting. The parting tool doesn\u2019t make it smooth and it\u2019s not supposed to. Just rough narrow slots to divide one part of the piece from another. Usually it separates the workpiece from the waste wood. Use this technique to create slots whenever you need them. Wider parting tools may come in handy when you need to quickly remove wood when creating tenons.
