Does anyone make HSS inserts for carbide tool holders?
 

I have to make a number of fussy little
groove and radius lathe cutters. Grinding
a HSS insert would be easier than grinding
them out of a full size lathe tool.

These are the only ones I know about.

I don't know if they'd fit a carbide holder or if you have to get
the Warner holders also.

I got a set of the their holders and bits. I prefer HSS and am
too lazy to grind bits if I don't have to.

I've dealt with them directly at http://www.arwarnerco.com/index.html.
They also show up at NAMES, probably Cabin Fever as well.

Maybe something from Thinbit...

Would drill blanks be too slender?

Everede makes boring bars that use small HSS tool bits with a
triangular cross section.
