I will try to do one better. Maybe not soon as I'm still traveling to take care of Dad's burial. I prefer to have the tip located about half the height of the shaft to reduce the tendency to tip. I think I have a homemade thin parting tool that I've ground that way. It could easily be done with the saw blade by putting the the tooth in the middle of the homemade shank. Might even be nice to give it a negative rake. Anyway one day when I'm really bored I'll pull out the cutoff wheel and make one.

That is not a good design. His cutter is at the top. The cutter must be below the centerline of the tool for stability.

Exactly what I said.

OOPS!! I missed that part and did not read your entire note but jumped to the video. Glad we agree.

I made one, once upon a time. It worked fine but there are commercial ones that work better than fine and are just as thin. IMO - I don't see the point.

learned it the hard way

I wanted a stiffer thin parting tool so I found an old resaw bandsaw blade and ground the teeth off. Put a cutting lip on just a little down from the top of this 1 1/2" blade and started making boxes. got a couple of really good catches before I realized that the cutting tip needed to be below center. Duh, basic physics, except I'm terrible at math.
