Snail, ya, dallen's right.
You may notice that the cutting tool is on a slant, it's been a major bugaboo of mine. When you get the tool adjusted to the right center height and then you move it in or out of the toolholder for more or less projection (as in parting of a ½" rod and then a 1" tube} you loose the center height.
As vowed previously I'll be making a level (not angled) parting toolholder as weather warms up in the shop.
