parting of made simple
studders:
I don't know if it was just my eyes playing tricks but to me it looked as though the cross slide or top slide was being pushed up quite a bit.
dawesy:
One thing I've found that helps is if it's a large dia I'm parting is make the first cuts a bit wider as it helps lessen drag on the parting tool.
Manxmodder:
You're right Lee,that extra side clearance is certainly helpful when using the parallel sided hss blade type.
If using the carbide insert tip type the insert is dovetail tapered to provide side clearance with the widest point being at the cutting edge.....OZ
Arbalist:
These look pretty good, particularly the Mode A profile type with the deep chip breaker.

I've contacted the company and they will supply direct. The HSS PM2N is £24.96 and PM2N Mode A are £28.98 ex VAT plus postage for orders under £100.

Quite correct noticed it straight away that's why those machines are flimsy. He has the feed just about right, notice taking a cut withdrawing, another sign of flex or movement.
$90 in Aussy link plus a decent cutter and expensive shipping might just as well have the real deal from likes of Seco, Manchester, Iscar, Arno, Kennametal etc and not have to bother sharpening every cut off with hss.
Repetitive work I will put a rear quick release tool post on and gang the tools up one being an upside down parting/grooving tool. Does same job and don't have to stop and restart in reverse direction. Is it any better, dubiously.
