Parting off...?

<< < (3/3)

arcos:
I do part off with a parting tool and the lathe turning...

I always start with a large cut/space... Even if I use a gouge to create enough space then when taking the parting tool I use my left hand, hold the turning piece with my right hand and balance the parting tool with my hip... For me this is quite a comfortable way of doing it.

It was just when I watched this guy parting with a full size hacksaw was a bit concerning!
