Troubles I’ve had have usually been due to a blade off-square.

It’s as well to part off over-length and maybe have a set of soft jaws available for light facing cuts if you get a bowed face.

I just parted off a 50mm diameter bar of meehanite cast iron, it was the nicest parting off I have ever done.
