Record Power 1/8" Parting Tool 103610

The Record Power 1/8" Parting Tool 103610 is used for parting the turned workpiece from the waste wood. With the correct technique they can also be used for creating beads and patterns - a truly useful and essential tool.

These Record Power parting tools are manufactured in the UK to a standard that makes them perfect for use by demanding professionals but also at a cost which makes them ideal for the novice turner.

Designed in consultation with and tested rigorously by professional woodturners, they represent a new standard in quality and value. The blades are made of high speed steel to keep their cutting edge longer and the handles of close-grained, stable and heavy beech. The shape of the handles has been specially designed, based on the requirements of experienced woodturners, to provide a strong and comfortable grip, leaving you free to concentrate on turning.

Record Power offer a free online educational video which shows how to use and sharpen the tools in a clear and easy to understand format.

Record Power’s turning tool manufacturing roots stretch back to the 1980s, when they were made in Record’s Meadow Street factory in Sheffield. They are manufacturing them again at their ever-expanding production facility close to their Sheffield roots.

These parting tools are made using modern CNC machining, laser-cutting and automated polishing, then ground and assembled by hand. A salt-bath heat treatment ensures the ideal level of hardness - giving the perfect balance between flexibility and retention of the cutting edge. This combination of techniques ensures that each tool is subject to accurate manufacturing tolerances and careful, rigorous inspection, to ensure their high quality finish and performance.

When you buy a Record Power woodturning tool you are investing in many years of manufacturing expertise and knowledge from a brand with a rich heritage of woodturning specialisation.
