impala59 Posted November 7, 2019 Report Share Posted November 7, 2019 Can anyone tell me the difference between a veiner and a v parting tool? I have been unsuccessful in trying to locate a dembart veiner (seems to be the tool to use) but keep coming across V parting tools from companies such as Robert Sorby and Pfeil in sizes down to 1mm. I have some intricate curved checkering edges to clean up/recut and want to get the right tool for the job. Any advice or pointers gentlemen?

I have bought various Dembart tools from them: https://www.peterdyson.co.uk/acatalog/CHEQUERING_TOOLS.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Boggy Posted November 8, 2019 Report Share Posted November 8, 2019 As JJsDad said above, Peter Dyson is your man. They do the whole range of checkering tools. Unless you know the exact lines per inch of your checkering, it sounds as though you just need a single cutting head and I think that they do one specially for tight curves etc. OB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old'un Posted November 8, 2019 Report Share Posted November 8, 2019 From what I understand v parting tools are for general wood carving (bigger tool) and dembart veiner v tools are for fine work (smaller tool) “making curved lines, fleur-de-lis or any border work, perfect for diamond cleanup at border junctions on checkering” See here..https://www.blackleyandson.com/acatalog/Tools_for_wood.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
impala59 Posted November 8, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2019 (edited) Unfortunately, Peter Dyson has been out of stock of the Dembart veiner for some time now and an email to him regarding the item was not answered. Hence my looking elsewhere. just checked Blackley and son, same story there it appears, maybe Dembart have ceased trading?

demonwolf444 Posted November 8, 2019 Report Share Posted November 8, 2019 try ordering from dembart directly ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
impala59 Posted November 8, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2019 (edited) I have now conversed with Walt McVey at Dembartco who assured me that a shipment was on its way to Peter Dyson. Apparently a reduced shipment due to domestic demand for the products. I emailed Peter Dyson but am not sure if it worked as it keeps bouncing back to the security Captcha. I will phone on Monday and hopefully reserve one of these "rare" tools. Dembartco will ship to the UK but shipping/customs charges could be high Edited November 8, 2019 by impala59 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
impala59 Posted November 11, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2019 Update after speaking on the phone it seems that there is a gremlin in Dysons email system so they are not getting stuff forwarded from their website. Hopefully the consignment will arrive shortly, C&E permitting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except for the fact that I will then have another sharp implement to slip and slide over my work and cut myself with 😁 managed to stab myself in the palm of my hand with a screwdriver yesterday getting the old banger ready for MOT (silent prayer ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
