Nikcole's web site sucks. There really is very little information about their products on it and what is there is so small you can't read it.

Sounds like a question for Ken.
I wonder if there is a radius on the edges of the groove inserts, so that you don't introduce a stress point by having a square edge. That wouldn't be necessary on the parting inserts. Also, you can get negative/positive parting tips, so that you leave the pip on the stock and not the part.
I'm probably totally wrong though!

According to http://www.mscdirect.com/browse/Indexabl...4287902322
Max depth of cut is 6mm (0.2362")

I would have thought that if the insert was slightly wider than the holder the depth of cut would be greater than that.
What's the use of a parting off tool that can only part off from less than ½" dia. stock?
