I will, thanks! I relied on a store front to sell me the best option for a parting blade. I have done a lot of parting with it successfully, but I know it could be a lot better.

I had a problem with my parting blade tilting like you, but once I switched to a P type, it was much better. Since the blade is shaped like a T, you might need to cut a small groove for the top of the blade so that it fits flush with your toolholder. I think I just used a file on mine.
