I bought one of the parting tools as reviewed by Doubleboost but I was never happy with the holder it came with as it took up a tool holder and caused a large overhang so I set about making my own.
It’s a Dickenson type tool post so l machined my billet to suit.
Drilled the holes for the clamp
Machined the bottom to set the centre night of the tool
And tested it in the lathe
Works great and has a very solid feel when parting off.
