I have heard and read many favourable comments on this, but never tried one.
Perhaps I will do so at some time.

Over the years, parting in the lathe was NOT sweet sorrow - what with 
dig-ins, breaking of tools, spoiling of work etc etc.
Until I bought a Kit-Q-Cut parting tool from Greenwood Tools.   It does 
exactly what it says on the box!     Problem solved!   I can now part at 
speed to the full depth of the tool, without any problems.
It has a small tungsten carbide tool inserted into a vertical plate, 
narrower than the tool.

I hasten to add the usual comment that I have no connection with this 
supplier, other than being a satisfied customer.

So, if parting is sweet (or other) sorrow, here is you answer!

Cheers!
