Mr. Angelo, I've only been turning since last May, and learning what the different tools do has been a challenge for me. This video was a big help. I really enjoy watching your videos, because they are very instructional. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge with us newbies. Danny Sweet
Sam liked the parting tool demo. Just wanted to give you a tip on your 2 and 3 inch sanding disk if you use a sanding rosin to clean them they will almost last for ever.
Great video Sam. I returned a couple hours ago from the local turning club's monthly gathering. Returned and did some sharpening, organizing..... gave some thought to some blanks I have staring back at me. Ending here with a handful of your videos. Thank you sir.
I recently took up turning, before that I built furniture and cabinets I had the lathe never really used it ,what was I thinking its a blast.so many different things a guy can do. Thank you for all your videos it has helped me a ton. God bless
My favorite parting tool i made with a old bread knife I picked up at a used store. I ground the end to a point and ground all the bread cutting part dull. Its thin amd it came with its own handle.
Nice video, Sam. You did very well explained. This, I realized that one "1 set gouge" Although some may woodturning with. But with more turning tool can make even finer things. Example parting tool, the scarfing I order the recess for the chuck then have. Greetings from Germany.
Sam: Great as always. When I use the parting tool to make beads or any other profile i think of it as a modified skew. The angle on the cutting edge is very helpful specially on making and refining tenons. Thank you Sam and keep them coming.
Thanks Sam a good explanation of Parting tools particularly sharpening free hand. I waste too much time setting up the jig I use. However, I use my parting tool for getting rid of waste wood when hollowing and found it great for getting rid of tool marks on thin wall hollowing. Excellent control - no catches?
I like to keep a burr on my parting tool/s as well (I've got three of those, a thin one I made myself, and a 3mm and a 5mm parting tools, the 5mm is a diamond profiled one). I've been playing with some angles on my grinds, but I find the normal spear shape donn the middle works best for most of my application. I enjoyed seeing the array of parting tools you're using. I liked the Ashly Isle (is that how it is spelled??) tool as well, I want to look up one of those for myself.
Great video on how to use the tools. I just use a diamond card to keep my parting tools honed but I am interested in how one gets the tip at an angle. Some of mine came with a straight tip and some came with an angled.
Other than my Sorby parting tool (same as the one you use) all my parting tools are homemade. Old table saw or circular saw blades are a great source... each tooth is a parting tool and they last for ages. Have a few hook and curved tools made from all metal kitchen knives... great for thin kerf parting for boxes.
+Bill Bottoms I think it was more of a cut. But it is a small diameter and difficult to ride the bevel. So just lower the tool handle and it will be more of a cut. Sam
sam what is your thoughts on the carbide tiped parting tools,,like the easy wood tool,,verses the parting tools you have now,,,,lol,,gotta buy a parting tool here,,looking for help,,
Not a full Maker, Crafter, Artist untill you have made your own supplies or tools. Do you have a video of supplies someone should get when first starting. say get 1000$ what would be best to get started turning.
I don't really have a video on this topic. It would be a good one. Let's say that the $1000 is after you have gotten a lathe. It would not take long to go through that. Start with a good bowl gouge/spindle gouge/parting tool/two scrapers (at least) and that $250-$350. One good scroll chuck, $250/$300. Some sandpaper and finishing supplies. $75. You would need some measuring devices like vernier calipers, dividers, a good ruler. I would add or make a dedicated screw chuck. You get the picture and I am sure I am leaving out a bunch of stuff. Like spur drives and live centers. I will think about a video. Sam
Hi sam thanks for tips on parting tools. good advice and I have learned more today. cool

As a beginner, it's nice to know that parting tools are more versatile than I thought!! Thanks for the informative video.

Nice selection of parting tools Sam. good video!
I learned a lot about parting tools. Thanks for another teaching video.

+Yuval Lahav Woodturning
It is spelled: Ashley Iles....had to look it up.
Great video on how to use the tools. I just use a diamond card to keep my parting tools honed but I am interested in how one gets the tip at an angle. Some of mine came with a straight tip and some came with an angled.

+Robert Venus
These are all great Ideas. I wish I could work more with metal. I could do the knife.....and it has a handle already.
thanks Sam
Thanks for the great video. When you were making the beads, were you getting a scraping action or a slicing action?
+Bill Bottoms
I think it was more of a cut. But it is a small diameter and difficult to ride the bevel. So just lower the tool handle and it will be more of a cut. Sam

Thanks

Just noticed you have replaced the capisitor on your PowerMatic. I just had to replace mine. Do you know why they go bad?
+Gary McCoy The capaistor? I am not sure what you are referring to. I did add a remote switch.
Sam
+Gary McCoy this link will give you some more knowledge nuggets :) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_capacitor
Sam, The ultimate guide would also include sharpening which is where I falter. Thanks for the video
+Alan Willoughby Crap.....I forgot sharpening. Next video. Seriously thanks

Thanks for the video. I look at the parting tool in a new light! Ps... I accidentally hit the dislike button, sorry.
