Which parting tool to get for mini lathe?

[muscleflex]

how so? the shank is 5/16", that's thinner than your current 10mm tool.

Hi Dan - what is a shank?

Hi Dan - what is a shank?

The shank is the part of the tool that goes into the tool holder, and gets clamp down on with set screws to secure it.


I've highlighted the shanks of your tool and the one I linked to in red.

Ahh perfect! That's where i got confused. Your link said height of tool was 20mm which is too high for my toolkits.
I'll place an order for the one you linked.
Thank you very much for the help!
