Where can I find a 5/16 parting tool?

[Jude]

I need a cutoff tool for my Grizzly G0765 with the 4 way tool post. Not up to grinding my own yet.
I haven't found one on LMS or anywhere online that appears to fit 5/16.
Thanks

How tall is the opening of your 4way tool post relative to the centerline of your spindle?
Does my question make sense?
Need more coffee I guess. Maybe....

Maybe try something like this holder? https://www.ebay.com/itm/SHARS-4-1-...433433?hash=item51d1562019:g:JVwAAOSwZd1VW0Rg

You'll probably have to grind something to work. I've done that a few times in the past. Just grind the sides for side clearance and width, and for a reasonable depth of about 3/8" back. Leave the top rake neutral at 0 degrees. Works great for parting off and grooving on small diameters. I'll post a picture of one when I get a chance.

You probably won't find a parting tool to fit. You'll either have to grind it or you can use this:

Pretty sure the 8mm one will work for you.

If that is a mini lathe LMS has them:

They show a couple of them for 4 way mini lathe tool posts.
