Slim Fluted Parting Tool |
Parting tool held in the SVS-50 with Closed Seat
Guidelines shown below are for use with the Tormek SVS-50 Multi Jig. For the Slim Fluted Parting Tool, the Closed Seat is used.
It is a good practice to use a wire brush to clean the fluted edge before sharpening. That way you don't damage the cutting edge when cleaning it later. I use one from an old M-16 gun cleaning kit.

Setting the projection
Marty Kiminsky noted that 45° is generally recommended for this tool, and that is his personal preference also. See also, "Woodturning" magazine, issue # 352.
The TTS-100 or the Projection Jig can be used to set the projection. (The color of the top of the Projection Jig is shown green for clarity.)
The picture to the right shows that projection being set.
Example icon
Sharpness scales (as shown in the grey icon to the left) are used to indicate the recommended sharpness for the blades noted above. You can click on any of the icons showing the sharpness scale and be redirected to the page describing this more. Lower numbers are duller; higher numbers sharper.
These are general recommendations; you will need to use your own judgment, based on the knive’s intended purpose.
