What is your tool/method of choice for parting off?

Hi I use a 2.5mm parting tool or a skew for a point or top of a finial. If a tenon which for me is rare a band saw or a small Japanese saw. Regards Tamboti

I primarily use a shop built thin parting tool that I made from a reciprocating saw blade. I also have a 1/8” parting tool that I got from HF that I use for tenon making. Depending on the nature of the parting, I may use a handsaw as well.

Either a DIY tool made from an industrial 45mm hacksaw blade, or a DIY 2mm x 20mm made from a planer blade.
Depending on the article I sometimes use the bedan.

Mostly a HF 1/4” thick parting tool. I use a thin parting tool from PSI for boxes and small stuff. For bowls, I use a bowl gouge and stopping when I get down to the nub. It can be dangerous to use a regular parting tool with a bowl.
