How Many of These Have You Destroyed? ....

I also use a P blade no problems.

When you say destroyed, do you mean the holder or inserts?

Check the right hand end of the holder. It used to look like the left hand end. The lower support for the insert is pretty weak in this kind of holder. I've had a couple fail on me. Gone back to the T-style HSS blades.

I doesn’t matter what I use as a parting option with the Clausing Colchester 15x50.
Parting is done with the auto feed at a moderate speed,no problem.The old South Bend 13 was not crazy about parting, in fact, it was painfull.
Your lathe makes all the difference in the world.

I believe this also. I now part with a Portaband. I mean; why not? It's reliable, easy and fast.
