I am new to woodturning. I am between houses, ATM, living in an apartment for the next 6-7 months. I have carbide tools since I don't have a bench grinder, nor room for one. I have a credit card diamond file and paddle diamond files to sharpen/extend the life of my carbide tips. I do not have a parting tool. I have been reluctant to buy one since I can't sharpen traditional chisels easily. I have searched for guides on sharpening parting tools by hand, but have found bupkis. I feel I'm lacking a parting tool, any tips for how to sharpen those with just a credit card and paddle diamond files?
