Beads

1.Place the parting tool on the tool rest and move the tool forward to make the full bevel of the tool contact the workpiece. Gently raise handle to make cut to the appropriate depth.

2.Repeat for other side of the bead.

3.Using a small skew or spindle gouge, start in the center between the two cuts and cut down each side to form the bead. Roll the tool in direction of cut.

Coves

1.Use a spindle gouge. With the flute of the tool at 90 degrees to the workpiece, touch the center of the cutting edge to the workpiece and roll in towards the bottom of the cove. Stop at the bottom; attempting to go up the opposite side may cause the tool to catch.

2.Move the tool over the desired width of the cove.

3.With the flute facing the opposite direction, repeat step 1 for other side of cove. Stop at bottom of cut.

“V” Cuts

1.Use the long point of the skew. Note: Do not press the long point of the skew directly into the workpiece to create the "V"; this will result in a burned or burnished "V" with fibers being rolled up at both sides.

2.Lightly mark the center of the "V" with the tip of the skew.

3.Move the point of the skew to the right half of the desired width of your cut.

4.With the bevel parallel to the right side of the cut, raise the handle and push the tool in to the desired depth.

5.Repeat from the left side. The two cuts should meet at the bottom and leave a clean "V" cut.

6.Additional cuts may be taken to add to either the depth or width of the cut.

Parting

1.Place parting tool on tool rest and raise the handle until it starts to cut and continue to cut to the desired depth.

2.If the cut is deep a clearance cut should be made alongside the first cut to prevent the tool tip from burning.
