No you are doing something wrong my guess is that your crossfeed isn't squared to the axis of the workpiece
Also make sure that the cutting edge is on center to the workpiece height or just slightly below, below will leaves a small tit os material but that little bit is easily filed off or faced off with a second op Sent via BlackBerry from T-Mobile -----Original Message----- From: "Doug Conn" <[email protected]> Sender: [email protected] Date: Tue, 7 Aug 2012 23:07:45 To: <[email protected]> Reply-To: [email protected] Subject: [TANKS] lathe question Hello - I have another 'Machining 101' question. I have a parting tool for my mini-lathe just like the one shown below. The bit sits in it a few degrees off from vertical. When I use it, the parted piece has a convex, cone-shaped, face. I want a straight, clean, cut. Is this the normal construction for parting tools ? Am I using it wrong ? Is this the wrong parting tool for me ? I appreciate any advice.
