How To Use A Parting Off Tool

If the carbide cutter has an angle on it it is usually quite small.

How to use a parting off tool. Adding an angle to the tool longer at which side of the cut you need to save allows the cut off part to be held a little longer so you end up with a reasonably burr free part that you cut off. Then use a conventional HSS parting tool cutting to the right to finish the job. How to use Get peace of mind with parting off tools that deliver chip control long tool life and machining efficiency.

For an optimal parting tool set-up use a tool holder with a short overhang to avoid vibration. First you must have a sharp tool with the correct relief angle at the point. Other uses include things such as cutting the head off a bolt.

This is what happened. I shaped the end of the blade like the Sorby Parting Tool double angle look. This video describes and demonstrates the proper use of the parting tool on a lathe.

When parting-off a component bar or tube it is important to save material and minimize cutting force. Parting or cutoff is the operation of cutting a piece off by slicing a groove all the way through it with a special parting tool or cut off tool. Get peace of mind with a parting off tool that delivers chip control long tool life and machining efficiency.

Second you need to do the cutting operation as close to the headstock as possible AND if possible support the outer end of the workpiece with a tailstock center--either live or dead. I got it looking nice and shiney looked pretty good. With the lathe Off place the tool about 12 to the right of the groove and find the position where the cutting edge just begins to engage the wood with the bevel rubbing.

Here you will find smart coolant solutions tough inserts and rigid clamping mechanisms that will help you excel in this critical part of the machining process. Cutting technique as well as different uses for the tool are covered. We recommend to use a sub-spindle if available.
