    Default Lathe Trimming bit?

    Something new from Penn State Industries here

    Not sure what to think of the idea - if works would be better with a morse taper

    added the photo as their website doesn't appear to have one yet

    It would work, but only if you did not disturb the blank, remove it and reinstall it.
    I would think you could square up the end with a parting tool just as fast, if not faster.

    I think I will stick with the disc on my belt sander. It does a great job slowly squaring up after drilling and before turning. I would be a bit concerned this new tool could catch and rip the end of a blank. The blank needs to be squared up again after CA is applied and I copied an idea of dai sensei's and made my own tool for a couple of dollars.

    Looks like a router bit for planning bench tops. Be very interesting to see if they put up a vid of in use . . .
