Lathe parting operations
Loosen the tailstock when you get down to 1/8" dia in the cut.---You are
cutting
close to the 3-jaw aren't you??

Hi all,
I am aware of the fact that parting is (usually/always?) not recommended if
the workpiece is held between centers.
What about parting off with the workpiece mounted between a regular 3-jaw
chuck and a live center? (1/4 hp lathe, Workpiece: brass, 5/8'' diameter).
Thanks,
Fred
