Re: Chatter while parting off.

Hmm...

Looks like I have the minority view here. You make good points.

For my lathe (10EE), I had awful time with cutoff with HSS tooling on
anything over one inch diameter. Tried everything. "The Kid" made me get an
insert cutoff tool and use power feed and lots o' coolant. Viola! my
troubles went away. YMMV
