I will look at the surfacing cutters, if we can manage it I would 100% prefer to use indexable inserts.
Me too but often the initial purchase price is out of reach of DIY user as they are not surfacing very often so don't get the cost saving inserts offer long term when using all the time like I do.
I build machines for people and I'm always being asked what and where to buy surface cutters and cutters in general and when I advise to use index and give aprox cost they nearly always take a sharp intake of breath until I explain why it's worth investing.
