Greetings,

How do you use them?
Do you hold one in your bare hands on the top of the turning?
Do you grind one end to look like a parting tool and use it as such?

Sincerely,
Bill Thomas

I'm trying to get five cuts separated by the width of the tool in about
1-1/2 inches. So far, I've only gotten 4 cuts. Should I be looking for a
parting tool that's thinner yet?


I use a hacksaw blade to make the grooves between the beads. I
tried using a beading tool, even made some thinner ones to narrow
the grooves, but a hacksaw blade seems to work best and if you buy
them by the 100 pack they're dirt cheap.
