I was very happy with the handle that i built for this parting blade, but got disappointed very quick, the very first time using tool kept bending, too late to return it, and not a cheap part.

amazon deve dare la possibilità di restituire senza spese o quantomeno proporzionate al costo di acquisto, questo mi ha fatto buttare 25 euro per salvarne 10

I bought the Name! Thinking this would somehow live up to the reputation I got this parting tool. I was parting a piece of walnut with it and the tool bent. It was into the wood about an inch with only about a half inch to go. So I made my own parting tool out of a 10” carbide tipped thin kerf blade that had lived its life out. I cut the blade with a cut off wheel and cut all the way through the center of the blade so I ended up with a carbide on both ends. I used it in the same way as the bent tool and it is working fine.
