I've gone through a few of the Chinese MGEHR-1616 parting tools (with the reversible carbide inserts), in fairly quick succession - the jaws that clamp the insert are dead soft and deform under a healthy cut, inserts shatter!
Any recommendations, I don't mind paying a few times the price of the Chinese ones if they last a few times longer... 16mm / 5/8" slots in the QCTP holder (and a SS blade 250-207 holder came with the QCTP but doesn't clamp properly (tilts the blade sideways) - I suspect they're all as bad)
