Inverted Parting Tool.

(1/2) > >>

Stilldrillin:
I only turn small widgets, usually, and part off using a blade type 1.5mm wide tool.

I`ve seen the hint/ tip to part off in reverse, but not tried it until yesterday.......





It works a treat!  :clap: :thumbup:


My little lathe now laughs at large pieces of 1" brass.  ::)





Like this "steam dome" for my boiler.





Another success!

Now I have my miller, I will make a 10mm square holder for the 1/4" tool shank.....  :thumbup:

Happy David.

Bernd:
David,

Yes it works great because the chips or swarf falls out of the cut.

Now for a bit of saftey. Be careful as the chuck can unscrew while cutting backwards like that.

Thanks for the note of caution Bernd.  :thumbup:

This chuck is flange mounted, not screw on......

How dumb can the Artful Bodger be?   :scratch:   I thought I needed to make a rear tool post to do inverted parting!:doh:

Thats a good idea my lathe will run in reverse and its got a flange mounted chuck I'll have to try it.

Thanks Dave  :thumbup:
