Insert Based Endmills

[Chaz]

After you check the range of feeds and speeds in the document fit your requirements simply consider the insert replacement VS re-sharpening costs, the tools are great if they fit your machine's parameters.

Thanks. I wonder if they are more resilient to mistakes or similar. Carbide clearly snaps, this might damage an insert, as long as the main holder remains undamaged / straight, it should be good to go with new inserts.

The idea of spending £150 and then not getting a lot of use from it worries my wallet. Of course, I am not expecting it to be idiot proof but its easy to make a mistake.

It would also be good if anyone that has gone down this route suggests its the best thing since sliced bread, its a waste of money or its just the same as buying endmills and replace them as they wear / break.
