Mini Lathe Tooling

Cut-Off

Cutting a work piece off of the parent bar of material is a basic lathe operation. Most cut-off tools are too large for the mini lathe. Many of the cut-off tool options are adaptations of larger cut-off blades to the mini lathe.

Cut-off blades are a narrow, but tall cutting tool. The ones used on the mini lathe are usually 1/2" tall, as this is the smallest commercial size. They come in various widths of 5/64" wide (P1X), 1/16" wide (P1), and 0.040" wide (P1N).
