A few months ago I bought an 8mm shanked turning tool set from the above supplier and ive been using them carefully on my toy lathe (myford ml 10) ive noticed that some of the tipped tooling have suffered immediate breakage with little to no use,I will accept that the ml10 is not as rigid as a large lathe and parting off was always going to be a hassle especially when using a back plate mounted chuck, in any case Ive had absolutely no trouble using regular hss tooling, and this is what leads me to believe im right in my suspicions of sub standard tips being supplied by rdg but I would like to ask for your opinions before I Get replacement tools, all advice on the matter appreciated

these are the suspects
the parting off tool and the thread cutting tools broke immediately and in each case I was able to continue on without failure using the same speeds/feeds ect with hss tools, im a careful worker and im not used to breaking tools.
