I've never been comfortable trying to part off round stock on my lathe (14x40), crashed it once during a parting procedure and had to throw a pair of skivvies away. I'm toying with the idea of buying a block, blade and insert combo which will mount in my KDK tool post.
Would any of the machinist care to comment on one of my possible choices? I'm looking at the set 1 as the block has a 1/2" x 1/2" shank which will fit my KDK tool holder.
