I returned mine. Pick up the original version. Had too many blanks blow-out.

I wouldn't spend the money on these since the carbide inserts are not replaceable, or at least not easily. When and if someone comes out with one that uses replaceable inserts I might buy one. It would not be a huge engineering feat to design one that uses triangular inserts. Plus, I don't like the idea of only two cutting edges, just seems like it would put more stress on whatever you're cutting.
