Not too bothered about starting with a longer piece of bar (more like an

easy on an AUD with 50 diameter stainless.

If I can manage 95mm EN24T on an ML7, then you can manage 50mm 316 or 303
on
an AUD!

Carbide insert parting tools make a big difference with awkward metals.

Of course, one could always relegate the parting to a bandsaw or power
hacksaw. In desperation, if the parting off was too great a step, would be
to
turn the entire waste part into swarf with a facing tool!

I can part 50mm SS but none of my assortment of parting tools are quite
right for it. A recent eBay item I won is a parting blade holder for my
Dickson QTP but it needs a new blade and I have not been able to find the
correct size.

The short piece of blade that came with it is 5/8" high and about 1/8" wide.
None of the suppliers I have tried list one that size. I suspect that the
holder would work with a slightly narrower blade (2 to 2.5mm) but the
toolholder has no makers name on it looks genuine Dicksons) so cannot be
sure.

I also have an Iscar double ended replaceable tip holder (blade only ) but
it is 32mm high with nothing to clamp it to the toolpost.

If only I had a miller, or room for one!
