Ain't that the truth,

A little tip I use when parting big diameters is to;
Plunge 10mm (3/8") at a time, and side step in Z by 1mm to widen the groove.
Then repeat this process right down to full depth.
The slightly wider groove prevents the chips binding.
Using this method, you can go much deeper than you might imagine.
