Best thin parting tool

[DaveL]

Was looking on ebay and found these, am I barking up the wrong tree as the price seem low.

Well they are for metal work, there is a holder that this tool steel is mounted in and that is then clamped to the tool post. The blade is not as deep as the ones sold for wood work, so will not be as rigid, must admit at that price I am tempted to get one to try out. :?

Just found this one a little bit deeper, I think I will get one to try. 8)

I use a Draper 32mm chisel knife and grind the end the same as tep does his blade.
