Coves
1. Use a spindle gouge. With the flute of the
tool at 90 degrees to 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 tool over the desired width of cove.
3. With the flute facing the opposite direction,
repeat step 1 for other side of cove. Stop at
bottom of cut, see Figure 18.
“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 skew to the right half of
the desired width of your cut, see Figure 19.
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
1. Place parting tool on tool rest and raise the
handle until it starts to cut and continue to
cut to the desired depth.
2. If the cut is deep a clearance cut should be
made along side the first cut to prevent the
tool tip from burning.
Beads
1. Place parting tool on tool rest and move tool
forward to make the full bevel of tool come
in contact with workpiece. Gently raise
handle to make cut to 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.
