Hey guys,

Somebody was asking a few days back about removing the "tit" left when
turning off a part. There is a company that makes a line of machines
to do just that. They call it a "TIPSHEAR". Company is Beere
Precision Products in Racine, WI. I saw them demo a small one at
IMTS2004. Simple, easy, fast, and it worked very well.

Take care.

I have one of those tools. It's called a file. In any case, if you have the
tool set on centre height properly you get no tit in the first place. Also
my main facing tool has negative rake so once the tip has passed centre the
cutting edge of the tool rises and removes any tit left by the point. After
15 years of parting off stuff it certainly isn't something I think I need to
go out and buy.
