Parting made easy - Paulc - 11-03-2019
Many may already know this but I tried a new way ( for me anyway) of parting off a part.
I remembered seeing a YouTube video of someone parting off by having the parting tool upside down and then running the lathe spindle in reverse so I decided to give it a try.
What a difference! Cut thru smoothly, no chatter, no digging in.
This will definitely be my preferred method.

Works well assuming you have a lathe that does NOT have a threaded spindle nose.

True enough! Fortunately my grizzly lathe uses studs to secure the chuck.
