I turned a pretty nice oak goblet, and when I parted it off at the foot, some wood fibers tore out. This seems to be a constant problem with my parting. My Sorby parting tool is sharp, and I ease up on the pressure near the end. Its a real pain to sand out the torn place if I don't reverse chuck.
Does anyone have a solution to this problem - a way to eliminate or lessen the tearing out?
Thanks,
Joe
