Standard Parting Tool Used to part the finished project off from the waste material, the parallel sides make for a rigid tool that handles well. The 1/8" -3mm tool reduces the amount of waste, vital if the timber is an expensive, exotic one. It also makes for a fine detailing tool, e.g. beads and fillets. Diamond Parting Tool The special profile of this tool reduces the risk of binding in the cut. It also reduces the amount of heat build up caused by friction, thereby lessening the chance of burning the bottom of the parted project. Fluted Parting Tool This tool has a milled flute running along the bottom edge, creating two sharp spurs at the cutting face. These sever the fibres to produce a burnished finish. The tapered profile also reduces the risk of binding in the cut. This features a radically new and unique cutting profile with a blade profile of only 2mm. The long bevel has a milled flute which is the cutting face. The small bevel is the sharpening face. When parting off, this unique arrangement causes the tip to always cut at a shear cutting angle of 45º, producing a finish without equal from a parting tool, virtually eliminating the need for sanding. Slim Parting Tool This 1/16" handy parting tool is designed to give the cleanest and finest of cuts with the minimum of waste wood. Its 1.1/4" blade width eliminates the flexing and twisting normally associated with such a thin blade. The double bevel HSS cutting face gives the very finest of cuts. And for added security the blade is seated and riveted deep in the handle.
