About Lathe Tools

Skew Chisel – The skew chisel is essentially a flat knife with an angled end. Used mainly for smoothing but has many other uses such as trimming and making v-cuts. This is one of the most important tools and is used in a lot of situations.
Parting Chisel – The parting chisel is diamond shaped, coming to a sharp point. It can be used to cut a turning off square at the ends.
Round Nose Chisel – Similar to a roughing gouge but has a shallower profile, a round nosed chisel or spindle gouge can be used to used to turn coves or rounded grooves into a piece.
