Dearly departed.....
Going by the debris on top I'd say that was fretting quite badly, and that you were parting without coolant. Simply adding cutting fluid would improve things a lot. I dug in a tip yesterday because I thought it would fly through a shallow cut. Nearly made it too. If I had used cutting oil it would have sailed through.
If it had been a cheap Chinese blade then I would have said par for the course. With it being a Korloy one however I wouldn't be happy as they are not just cheap rubbish. Unless you did something seriously daft I would be getting in touch with Cutwel to see what they say.
BTW next time buy the Iscar Tang Grips, on special every second month at J&L.
What machine is it on? Have you got loads of slop

Parting is simple if you have a semi rigid lathe and a decent parting tool.I hate parting off with a vengeance. Apparently hss hacksaw blades are supposed to be good with a holder.
From what I have read a rear mounted toolpost is the real solution. Not cheap though normally over £200 for my Colchester.

The secret is not to be scared, wind it in instead of tickling things.
I fitted a big handwheel to my Triumph as I found the small piddly one that is standard is too small for parting.
Been lucky with parting. Rear post helps. As does getting the blade bang on parallel and set to a good height.Parting is simple if you have a semi rigid lathe and a decent parting tool.
