Parting and tool holder issues...
20190321_202016.jpg20190321_202029.jpg20190321_202045.jpg
I have recently purchased this tool holder from ebay and a parting blade from Hare and Forbes.
After setting the tool in the holder dead centre and trying it out on some round bar, it still grabbed and the chuck and headstock appeared to lift up while this occured! I have a 1959 Hercus C model and am wondering if there is damage underneath the headstock causing it to lift or is it the bed and headstock combination flexing?
Maybe parting off anything other than brass or copper is simply too much to ask from the lathe?
I have noticed that this site is very quiet with no updated posts but thought i'd ask here anyway and if anyone has links to a more active forum would be appreciated.
