I have several 15~20 turning tools and I hate sharpening. I am really
seeing a lot of a new brand that never needs to be sharpened. They have
replaceable carbide teeth tips and some have 4 new cutting edges. IIRC
about $15 for replacement cutters. IIRC Craig of Kreg tools has
introduced this line. Only need about $500 total for all the basic
styles.

Here's another source - somewhat lower prices:

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

Take an insert and go down to an industrial supply that serves machines
shops. Have them match it up. Much cheaper.

Any major name suppliers come to mind?
