What included angle do you have or find best on your parting tools?
I find the angle pretty much the same way I do with a lot of tools- let the bevel rub, then lift the handle until it starts cutting.What included angle do you have or find best on your parting tools?
Is it just me, or do others also find that parting tools want to have a blunt angle. Over time, despite my best efforts, they migrate themselves to too blunt and I have to regrind them. Mysterious.
So, to address the OP's question, it depends on how long it's been since I took notice and restored the proper angle, which is about 60 degrees, as John says.
