Put the cutter upside down on a diamond hone and rub for awhile. It will not be new but may give a little more life.

I can sharpen those for you. $5 each plus a couple bucks for return shipping. Sound reasonable? I use a diamond wheel on a tool and cutter grinder at the shop I work at.

Thank you for the offer Paul.
Jon, I guess these are what you use? They work as good or good enough? What size is a replacement for the cutters I pictured? Thanks for your advice.

These work great and just as good in my opinion. I use and abuse them. They work on acrylics, burl wood and tru-stone just fine with no problems.
Now if im going to turn a tru-stone blank, i do make sure i have a fresh edge, other than that i will use the crap out of one cutter. It's the only tool i use, even for going from square to round
P.S. - i use the cutters that are marked "BT" they are a radius not square
But, the ones you have can be sharpened with a diamond hone and a little water.

I get mine from Oella Saw and Tool. For what you say you pay for 2 inserts, you can get 10. Quite a few places sell them.

When my cutters get too dull to turn wood or acrylic, I mount them in a separate handle just for turning stone inlay. Get's a lot more life out of them. I do a lot of turquoise infill and they work fine for that when they are too dull for wood or acrylic. By dressing them from time to time with a diamond hone, I can use them for a long time on stone.
I also buy the BT radius inserts from global tooling. $26 for a box of ten

I use the card size diamond sharpeners and get a renewed edge fairly fast that will last almost as long as the new ones. I have resharpened the same cutters three times so far.

Are you sure the mentioned cutter will fit on a EWT mini rougher? I just checked a new cutter and it measured around 11mm. The one shown is 15mm.
After some searches here I found what I need here: http://eddiecastelin.com/cutters_only
He has the cutters for the EWT mini rougher 3 for $18 and $3 shipping. Half the price of what Woodcraft wants for the EWT replacement cutters. I can live with that.

The following is the companies response to my email inquiry. I ordered already. Guess I will find out.
Their response:
I'm pretty sure this cutter has a 2" or 50mm radius on the face and the
closest thing we have has a 4" or 100mm radius. The part number for our
cutter is IC2515154-4100, $2.61 ea. Sold in boxes of 10.
15mm x 15mm x 2.5mm with a 4" radius, C-3 carbide.

Yes, that is the "R4" cutter. It is the one I prefer. I don't know where you can get the R2 cutters at a reasonable price.

If you order them from Big Guy Productions (Capn Eddie) it is $3 shipping/ order. Order 3 cutters, $3 shipping, order 30 cutters $3 shipping.
Paypal will charge you $3 for every set of cutters you add, but he refunds the difference.

Are these inserts from Global equivalent in sharpness and performance to the ones from Easy Wood? Does Global also happen to have the round one?
