Beads
1. Place the parting tool on the tool rest and move
the tool forward to make the full bevel of the
tool contact the workpiece. Gently raise handle
to make cut to the appropriate depth.
2. Repeat for other side of the bead.
3. Using a small skew or spindle gouge, start in
the center between the two cuts and cut down
each side to form the bead. Roll the tool in
direction of cut.
Coves
1. Use a spindle gouge. With the flute of the tool
at 90 degrees to the workpiece, touch the
center of the cutting edge to the workpiece and
roll in towards the bottom of the cove. Stop at
the bottom; attempting to go up the opposite
side may cause the tool to catch.
2. Move the tool over the desired width of the
cove.
3. With the flute facing the opposite direction,
repeat step 1 for other side of cove. Stop at
bottom of cut.
“V” Cuts
1. Use the long point of the skew. Note: Do not
press the long point of the skew directly into the
workpiece to create the "V"; this will result in a
burned or burnished "V" with fibers being rolled
up at both sides.
2. Lightly mark the center of the "V" with the tip of
the skew.
3. Move the point of the skew to the right half of
the desired width of your cut.
4. With the bevel parallel to the right side of the
cut, raise the handle and push the tool in to the
desired depth.
5. Repeat from the left side. The two cuts should
meet at the bottom and leave a clean "V" cut.
6. Additional cuts may be taken to add to either
the depth or width of the cut.
Parting
Place parting tool on tool rest and raise the handle
until it starts to cut and continue to cut to the
desired depth.
If the cut is deep a clearance cut should be made
alongside the first cut to prevent the tool tip from
burning.
