The parting tool seems to have a much bigger variety of handle sizes than other lathe tools. I have one stuck artlessly in a 6" file handle. The thin kerf parting tools from Crown and Sorby look even smaller. One from a harbor freight set has the same 12-14" handle as the rest of them.

What is your preference for a parting tool handle, for best control?

(I will be getting a D-Way or Thompson parting tool soon and will either buy or make a handle.)

Thanks
