I made a hand crank for my South Bend lathe for inside threading (it has a screw-on chuck so I'd rather not run it in reverse) and have used it for the last little bit of a "scary" parting-off (large diameter steel part had to be supported by the tail stock so the part was trapped between the stock and the live center) and it parted-off just fine under hand power. Whatever works!
