Thanks Tim. I was looking at Vardex inserts at about $15 a piece. Can you give me an idea what you are paying for Carmex inserts from the distributor? Also, do they require a minimum order such as 10 inserts?
Thanks for all of your help. -Steve
I used vardex for a while I tryed carmex and could not tell the diferance. I pay $10 a piece for the gold coated inserts I have always bought a full box 10 at a time. But he will mix them up if i want. They also have kits they come with a tool holder and about 10 inserts with different threads per inch,Give them a call ask for Jelf.
