Thanks. First time I ever laughed at parting-off.
I have "The Backyard Foundry" and others!

I always enjoyed Chucks articles in the Model Engineer and the way he used humer in his clever ideas. One I remember was his die casting of model pistons and a cartoon if him dancing around on a pile if hot pistons. A very clever chap indeed.
Love that cartoon, a back tool post is the only way to part off on a small lather, and I have managed =to acquire one for my Myford ML7. Otherwise, I have been there with all the other ones, but never managed to be the Hero. A quote from one of my books, "reverting to the undignified method of cutting in the lathe with a hacksaw".
If you make miniatures the major parting-off problem is not so much how to do it but how to avoid losing the tiny part you're parting-off. Some time ago (almost a decade) I built a device to address this problem. If you're interested, you can read about it here...
