Hi Janderso,
This is my rear parting toolpost and the parting off blade that I use in it.
It fits into the rearmost slot on the cross slide. Held with a stud into a "T" nut.
The blade is held by two tapered bolts secured from the rear by nuts and washers.
It was done this way in order to be able to get as close to the chuck as possible. In this case 2 mm clearance.
I can easily part off 50 mm round mild steel bar at 800 rpm, with lubrication.
