I am buying a 7 x 12 HF mini lathe and have become aware that parting off can be a problem. There is a youtube video which shows a simple method of stiffening the tool in the toolpost.

Has anyone tried this on a mini lathe and did it work?
He used a British cut off tool called an ARC QA 060-325-20802 [ see second clip when he goes down to a 2 mm wide tip. ] Does anyone in the USA stock this tool.
