I have tried just about everything. I only use HSS for parting and I sharpen it every time I use it. Faster spindle speeds. Slower spindle speeds. Slow to fast feeds into the work. Tool at, slightly below and slightly above center line. Grinding tool square and with a slight angle. I am sure that one problem is using the atlas/craftsman parting tool in a lantern style tool post. It is all I have to part with right now. Other than my trusty hacksaw.
