Description:

The use of a parting tool is not recommended for parts with a diameter of more than about 1"; however, Sherline is aware that many customers prefer to leave their riser blocks in place on the lathe at all times, even when turning smaller diameter stock. For this situation, we have somewhat reluctantly produced a riser block that allows use of the standard P/N 3002 cutoff tool holder (not included) by mounting it atop this riser block. (We say "reluctantly" because we do not wish to imply by providing a way to part off material with the riser blocks in place that it is intended for use on large diameter material. It is not.)
