Good price on inserts

[LEEQ]

So I'm new to the indexable insert game. Where do you guys go for a good price on quality inserts?

Ebay is the best place I've found. Make sure you know what you're looking for or the selection will be overwhelming. Enter your insert code in the Ebay search. $12-$14 for 10 plus shipping. Most of the guys selling on ebay offer combined shipping discounts too. It pays to stock up. I've bought some from one vendor that has a ton of new old stock for 10 for $10 . Pricing depends on style of insert.

Do you happen to know what vendor that is? I need tgp 322, which is for an older style cutter and likely to be a new old stock kind of item. I could hit them up/ check out their store.

http://www.ebay.com/usr/rishet_tools. I think what your looking for is this. http://www.ebay.com/sch/Manufacturing-Metalworking-/11804/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw=tpg+322&_sop=15

I think you want TPG not TGP

you are correct. I keep mixing that up. I found them for 2.05 apiece on amazon and got 4 of the c2 and 4 of the c6. My cutter takes 4 bits and this route let me try two kinds in proper numbers. Boxes of ten don't figure well for this one. I'll keep a look out for better, but I thought that was pretty fair.

Rishet had some good deals too!
