Professional 6mm V-parting tool for creating sharp decorative lines, outlining designs, and adding texture. The 60° angle cuts clean V-shaped grooves for lettering, hair texture, and detail work.
The Schaaf Tools 6mm V-Tool (also called a V-parting tool or veining tool) is your essential companion for adding crisp lines, textures, and details to wood carvings. With its distinctive V-shaped profile, this tool cuts precise grooves in a single pass — perfect for outlining design elements, adding hair texture to figures, or creating decorative patterns.
The 6mm width represents the measurement across the top of the V, making it ideal for medium-detail work. It’s narrow enough for intricate designs yet substantial enough to make visible, confident lines. The 60° angle creates a clean, defined groove that catches light beautifully in finished carvings.
Forged from alloy chromium-vanadium steel and hardened to Rockwell C60, this V-tool holds its edge through demanding carving sessions. The two cutting edges work together to lift out a chip of wood cleanly, leaving smooth walls on both sides of the cut. The octagonal ash handle provides excellent control for this precision tool.
