Their replacement carbide tips certainly are a lot less expensive, looks
to be 1/2.


I bought the rougher (unhandled) a couple of years ago along with extra
tips. I've been happy with it. The guy who makes them (IIRC, he's a
retired machinist) says he's sold them all over the world. If you have
any questions give him a call - he's a friendly cuss.

I like the looks of his new combo tool - I may have to save up for it.


So Larry how long comparatively do the carbide tips last would you say?
