Make your own thin parting tool

[Hutzul]

When I think of all the blades, like yours, that I've binned over the years when I was engineering, little thinking of trying wood turning #-o

....spilt milk etc.......

Ummm. I have two bandsaw blades I don't want. One is worn out, the other is brand new but wrong size that Axi sent by mistake and didn't want back.

Bandsaw blades just won't cut it as a parting tool at least not that I am aware off.

Sorry I have now been cleared out here is a pic of my parting tool completed

Hi Woody
I collected somewhere a tool that is somewhat similar - BUT -- the wooden handle had been epoxied on and came off. Now thinking about it, and your comments further on in the thread, you have just glued on a couple of hardwood strips either side with the steel therefore going right through instead of a full handle - is that correct? I suspect my steel isn't long enough for that, but at least you given me the solution to work against.
