Easy Parting Tool
THE EASY PARTING TOOL
The Easy Parting Tool is great for making that last part-off
cut on projects up to 4” diameter and establishing diameters
on your spindle turning projects. Also, use your imagination
to add tiny details, deep grooves to your project and many
other unique cuts that were not so easy with your old parting
tool.
This is the easiest and best performing parting tool ever!
And with perfect geometries built right into the replaceable
cutters, you never need to fuss with sharpening.

Read this product information and watch our online videos
carefully until you fully understand the concepts involved
Read and understand your lathe’s owners manual
Wear safe clothing and proper eye protection
Secure your workpeice properly
Use the right tool for the job
Set the tool rest height to align the top of the cutter to
spindle center
Always maintain your tool flat on the tool rest and level to
the floor
Never use the tool with the handle below level
Maintain a sharp cutter so that you get a clean cut without
forcing the tool into the wood
Never cut deeper than the “Max Overhang” label on the
toolbar or else the tool may become unstable
FOR YOUR SAFETY
Maintain the tool dead vertical on the tool rest for the
duration of the cut. If you tilt it any, the tool may bind in the
groove and cause tool damage or injury!
Do not make cuts on the face of your project more than
1/8” deep without widening the groove with a separate
plunge cut
Never cut side-to-side with this tool. You will damage the
cutter pocket
Never wiggle the tool side to side to widen the cut
Don’t force the tool into the cut but rather use slow, even
cutting pressure
Never part your project completely in two when working
between centers. This would cause the two halves of the
wood to pinch and pull out the cutter. (Cut down to about
a 1/4” diameter and then handsaw the remainder)

Proposition 65 is a California law that applies to any
product(s) sold in California.
Some products sold on this website contain chemicals
known to the state of California to cause cancer and
birth defects or other reproductive harm.
A Proposition 65 warning means one of two things:
(1) the business has evaluated the exposure and has
concluded that it exceeds the “no signi cant risk level”;
or (2) the business has chosen to provide a warning
simply based on its knowledge about the presence of
a listed chemical without attempting to evaluate the
exposure.
Easy Wood Tools, LLC has chosen to provide a
warning based on its knowledge about the presence
of one or more listed chemicals without attempting to
evaluate the level of exposure. With products on Easy
Wood Tools website, the exposure may be below the
Proposition 65 level of concern, or could even be zero.
However, out of an abundance of caution, Easy Wood
Tools, LLC has elected to place the Proposition 65
warning noti cation on all its products.
This product may contain chemicals known to the State
of California to cause cancer and birth defects
or other reproductive harm.
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding,
drilling, and other construction activities contains
chemicals known to the State of California to cause
cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Some examples of these chemicals are:
- lead from lead-based paints,
-
crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other
masonry products,
- arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber.
Your risk from exposure to these chemicals varies,
depending on how often you do this type of work.
To reduce your exposure, work in a well-ventilated
area and with approved safety equipment, such as
dust masks that are specially designed to lter out
microscopic particles.
