Claim:
A tool for refinishing a rotating workpiece, comprising: an arm adapted to grasp the refinishing tool during a workpiece refinishing operation; a swivel member pivotally mountable on the arm and formed with an asymmetrical shoulder adapted to compressively rigidly fix the swivel member and arm in a fixed linear alignment coincident with a longitudinal axis through the arm and swivel member, wherein the asymmetrical shoulder is further adapted to rotatably orient the swivel member in any angular position within a continuous range between zero degrees and forty-five degrees in one direction only from the fixed linear alignment; a coupler formed in the arm and the swivel member adapted to removably connect the swivel member and the arm; a plurality of demountable locking devices for variably positioning the swivel member in relation to the arm; and a cutter detachably mountable on the swivel member within two opposing monolithic flanges adapted to provide additional rigidity during refinishing of the rotating workpiece on a lathe.
