A couple of decent tools cheap

I just bought an indexable face mill from Shars and a set of MT-2
shell mill holders from Tools-for-Cheap to fit my BP M-head machine.
$43 and $66 including shipping, respectively.
Wow... I'm impressed with both of them. Excellent quality, good fit
and finish, minimal run-out. Chinese stuff, yeah, but well-executed.
Hmmmmm....
I've got a set of the MT-2 holders, but I've been avoiding the insert based
cutters on the theory that they require more horsepoweer than I've got in
my Clausing 8520 mill (similar in size to the BP M-Head).
What size & what inserts are you running? Have you had a chance to try
them yet?
