I purchased a couple of turning tools from http://carbidewoodturningtools.com/. They don't seem to be responsive to my requests. I need to purchase some carbide inserts. Anyone know what's up? Anyone know of alternatives?

Some small business close for the week of the 4th.

I buy my inserts from globaltooling.com, they have the square and radius face ones. You have to buy a box of 10 but for 2.60-3.00 each, they are good.

If you are looking for the Ci1 large square rougher you can buy the replacement tips from Grizzly. A 10 pack is $32.00. The catalog number is H7319 they are 14mm square. They will not fit the medium rougher only the large. The price is right and they are made in Germany

Check out Captain Eddie at http://eddiecastelin.com/

I bought some inserts from him a couple of months ago and have been pleased. Caught me off guard when I called to order them, Captain Eddie answered the phone. Super nice guy to talk with.
