Hi Jim,

How do you find the tangential tool? Recommend one?

About 25 years ago I think they were called Burke Engineering who designed and made this tool sent a video of it working to model engineering clubs in the UK.  Working in the horological trade I was very used to tangential tools but didn't know they were called that; I knew them as a graver that we used for turning by hand. I thought it was a brilliant application of an old tool.  It has been my tool of choice ever since for general turning.

Take care.

Tony.
