Lathe Tools: Gouges,
Parting Tools, Scrapers
& More
Objective:
Create a sharp lathe tool with the follow-
ing features:
4 A sharp cutting edge with a prominent burr
4 A cutting edge that is shaped correctly for
the cut profile desired
4 Note: The goal is to recreate the same
geometry as originally supplied by the
manufacturer, but with a new sharp edge.
Where to Sharpen:
4 Edge-Vision™ Port
Abrasive Selection:
4 Coarse slotted Edge-Vision™ abrasive
(P60 – P80 grit)
Top Tips:
Use a black marker to color the edge to be
sharpened.
Use a shop/drop light to increase visibility
of edge being sharpened.
Start at the heel of the bevel and work
towards the cutting edge.
Sharpen with lathe tool at the 2:00 position
in the port to create a burr and avoid
tearing the abrasive.
Practice on an older tool before sharpening
your favorite lathe tool.
Creating a burr while sharpening is
important for lathe tools to work correctly.
While the naked eye
can’t see the burr
preferred by lathe
tool users, you can
definitely feel the
difference.
