$72 gets you an indexable blade, holder and 10 inserts.
Got it in yesterday. Solid, highly recommended. US-made
ones are prolly ~$150
I have AXA-series QCTP on me 9x20. As the shank on blade's
holder is 5/8", while AXA-series holders only accept 1/2 (.560)
tools, I had to mill out the slot in one of the holders to 5/8 . Not
a problem with carbide EM and me Sieg X3
. Height-wise, AXA
works and blade's insert can be set to proper height w/o any extra
work.
BTW, Shars sells AXA (100) series holders for about $14.
GTN-3 inserts, TINned, are $3 a pop on Ebay
