Went through pretty much the same scenario Steve. Except I broke the holder, grabbed on an odd parting operation. Still have one but its a monster, takes 1/4 inch wide inserts. Alright for really big parts but I hardly ever use it. Went back to a HSS parting blade.
Free advice is worth exactly what you payed for it.
