I need some DCM(T?) 1504 carbide inserts (among others), Jenny at JB seems to be unavailable, J&L seem expensive, none on ebay at the moment. Any other suggestions?

Jenny's bound to be at Ally Pally later this week. If you can wait, and you let me know exactly what you want, I could pick 'em up and mail to you. --

I've just managed to get hold of her, she reckons she has some somewhere , has promised to post them to me.
Many Thanks

DCMT 1504XX inserts don't teem to be the world's most popular size. The J&L prices looked about par for the course to me, but then I'm used to paying too much for inserts :-(

No, they don't, though the smaller DCMT are quite common. I've got a nice Seco boring bar which uses them.

On or around Tue, 16 Jan 2007 11:12:32 +0000, Tim Leech enlightened us thusly:
'fraid I tend to go with J&L, who although not the cheapest seem to be reliable. They have (for most stuff) several ranges and qualities. Went with posh kennametal ones, which seem to be pricey wherever you buy 'em, last time - they seem pretty good, apart from a slight tendency to produce enormously long bits of swarf with jagged teeth along one side; but that might be my cavalier choice of cutting speeds, as it seems to vary quite considerably. I've had about 4ft long before now.
