I have (and love) the Penpro purchased from an IAP member (herrell ? ...sorry for the probable spelling error).
I read on a different post here that Global Tooling Byrd inserts can be used without adjustment. My question is: what size do I need for an R4 (square) cutter? I can't figure out what the dimensions on the Global tooling website mean; 15mm x 15 mm?
The inserts I have aren't anywhere close to 15 mm or 13 or ?
I have a project where I need to use lots of corian and antler (not together) and so plan on going through quite a few of them. I just assume I'm not as "good" as those of you who do hundreds of pens with one insert. I use it from start to finish so the blade gets beat on pretty good just to make the stock round. I hit them pretty aggressively initially.
At any rate, if there's a way I can save a few bucks on my inserts, I'd appreciate it.
Thanks, john
