Anyone tried the Glanze parting tools from Chronos?
http://www.chronos.ltd.uk/cgi-local/ss000001.pl?page=search&SS=parting&search.x=0&search.y=0&search=ACTION&PR=-1&TB=A
item 21.
The other option for a small lathe seems to be the Q-cut from Greenwood,
http://www.greenwood-tools.co.uk/ishop/728/shopscr23.html
but that's more than twice the price at £50 :(
Any recommendations, other suggestions?
Ta.
BTW, I just had to make a complex part from Inconel, and as I only have
one bit of stock the right size I decided to make a test piece from ally
first. Wow! It was so easy .. 0.01 mm? peasy, go for a micron .. I'd
forgotten what machining ally and even mild steel is like after
struggling with stainless, copper and superalloys all the time.

I have the Greenwood parting tool and it works a treat. Not seen/used
the Glanze but just looking at the pic on the website, I don't think
it will give the same depth of cut as the Greenwood (which is
basically a piece of steel plate that is thinner than the cut width of
the tip). Mine is good for 20mm cut depth.
Regards,
Tony

And the grammar isn't too great either.
Should read Blood Alcohol
