Thread: an axe file to a lathe tool

  1. #1

    an axe file to a lathe tool

    I wanted to use some old axe files for parting tools or scrappers on the wood lathe and I needed to make
    wood handles and I wanted to sandwich the axe file handle between 2 wood pieces and make a comfortable
    handle out of red oak
    I wanted the cnc machining accurate to hold these axe files tight, a reverse mould was created by pocketing out the cut
    and the handle was a tight fit
    Turned out well

    Be really careful with using files as turning tools. They can be really brittle, and easily snap off.

    I hear you,i just want a parting tool and a scraper and I have a small lathe so it should be ok
    bought this for wood shafts and some dowels as i normally use the indexer for anything large and complicated
