Good gravy people looking to me for advise. What has the world come too?

I have what you need, inserts. Too bad you didn't ask here first before you bought the whole set up as I make the whole set up and could have saved you at least 30 bucks probably but what is done is done so I have replacement inserts. I'll PM you the info.

Lets look at sharpening the inserts. They are carbide and they can be sharpened but you need a diamond grinding wheel. Now if you do have a wheel and try to sharpen it you won't get the results you want. The inserts are made to really be used once until dull. These inserts have a chip breaker on them and once you basically change the edge of the insert by grinding it you kind of ruin the geometry of the inserts and it won't preform the way you want. It will cut but not very good. I have done it a few times but not worth it IMO. So that is the poop on sharpening them.
