Make your own. I did.

Thanks. I think I will make a couple of holders that hold the
triange insert "backwards", with the flat side almost parallel
to the spindle axis. One just a little left, one just a little
right. With these, I could cut both left and right faces,
turn the diameter, and make steps to one side of the cutter.
(I had a project that needed this done on 50+ parts, and doing
it with one tool instead of two would have been a great improvement.)
The holder needs to be a little narrower than the face of the insert.
