Abstract
This parting tool is compromised of a cutting blade with indexed depth markings allowing the depth of the cut to measured from the blade and a cutting blade housing that secures the blade such that the blade can extend, retract, and be easily removed from the housing. The housing and the blade have a coplanar bottom surface providing for reduced vibration and uninhibited movement of the tool across a tool rest. The blade and housing are secured in a vibration dampening bolster that can be removably attached to handles of various dimensions.
