Question:

I need a good workman to tell me!!!!!?

OK, if youre thinking about replying to this question, i only need a few answers about these tools.

Round nose chisel, Square nose chisel, spear point chisel, and parting chisel.
What i'd like to know, is how do you use those tools, or when would be the best place to use them. Thnx!~


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

These are all tools used with a wood turning lathe. The round nose is good for gen aeral removal of excess wood. Square for smoothing a turning. Spear point makes fine grooves. Parting chisel is for cuting a turning off from its main block of wood. You can't cut all the way through, because the turning will fly into your face at high speed. Make the final cut with a saw, with the lathe turned off. Read some information about lathe turning before you start this. Can be fun hobby, but can be dangerous.
