This Woodturning Thin Parting Tool - 1/2" Tang is made from M 42 Cobalt HSS. The cutting portion is 3 1/2" inches long, has a 1/2” tang, and is tapered from 80 thousandths to 60 thousandths. The taper helps to prevent binding. The cut is very clean.
-- Recommend either a 8" or 12" handle with 1/2" receiver. Tighten set screws into thin side of tang. --

Performs like a breeze. Does every thing the website claims. I have many tools all by quality makers. However if I was starting again D-way Tools would be my first choice. Try them you will be delighted.

I have/had a name brand parting tool. This one by far is much better - cuts cleaner, less to no burning when parting off, holds its edge well. The previous tool is now relegated to the bench.

I purchased a D-Way thin parting tool to speed up making Christmas decorations. Fantastic tool. Leaves a great finish. Like other D-Way tools in my arsenal, the tools fit and finish are second to none. I also like the handle better than the competition. Great grip and feel. I plan on replacing my others with these!

Great tool to use and makes even deep parting doable. First time I used it was upside down and it worked. After watching the video just imagine how much better it worked in the correct position. Most useful tools and videos.
Thanks so much for educating us.

This is by far the best parting tool I've used. The profile of the blade is far and away the best of any thin parting tool. It does a great job and is extremely easy to sharpen.

I really love this parting tool. Cuts very clean with minimal waste and less heat.
My only issue was the tang was under sized. It was 15/32, not 1/2 inch, so it would not work with my Robust collet system on my handles. I was able to order a 15/32 collet online for about $6 to rectify the situation. I also ordered a scraper "blank" that had the proper sized tang. I'm sure the undersized tang would not be a problem if you are using the D-Way handles or making your own. The cutting tool itself is magnificent! You will not be disappointed there.

I have tried several brands and D-Way Tools is one of the best. Right along with Thompson Tool. This tool takes a fine cut, easy to control with minimal binding.

It's a game changer. The novel design takes the anticipation out of when it's going to burn or catch; because it doesn't. Ridiculously easy to sharpen and maintain. Another game changer for these folks. I gave way my Sorby thin kerf tool.

A very good parting tool. Different that my others but very easy to use and sharpen. A fine cut with no burning. Would buy it again. And I like it that I can make my own handle.
