Carbide tip replacement

[HLW]

Thought I'd share a site that I found for carbide tips at a very good price. This might be helpful for those of you who make your own roughing tools and a possible replacement tip for the "Easy Rougher" and other similar tools. Just thought I'd share the info. Merry Christmas.:icon_cheers

How are these blades for other tools

I notice that the 14mm x 14mm x 2mm, which would fit my G0490X jointer are on sale and about half the price of other sources. Are these reliable products?

Hi, "Guy in Paradise".I can't speak to their reliability because I haven't purchased any yet. But from what I've read on other sites people have used them as a replacement for their roughing tools and liked the product. I read about them on Sawmill Creek. Hope this helps.

I purchased a set of ten from Global tooling and just had time to try them out. They are the same size as supplied with the rougher tool. They worked great on a bowl I made so as far as I can see they are cheaper and work as well. I ordered the - 15mm x 15mm x 2.5mm - Boxes of 10 for $20.00. That's $2.00 each compared to $13.00. Now if I someone could find the round ones for the rougher finisher.
