So, once again, acting on your advice I bought a rear-mounted cut off tool from Sherline. Had it for a couple of weeks before I needed it. Had piece of unknown aluminum to part. Whatever alloy, it was gummy as all get out to machine so I was really wondering about the parting.
But it went just like you said it would! I had to lube it a bit (gummy, very gummy) but it worked a treat. Not only did it part off at a pretty fast rpm/feed but the tool feed in the full 1" straight as you said it would. Thank you!
On another note, did you ever post up anything on building the live center you made? Sherline's works, pretty much, most of the time but yours looks like the ticket and I'd love to see a write up with lots of pics.
Thanks again for your sound advice.
