Great Job PM!!!!
When the carbide tools fail, do they chip or is it just some wear on the edge? how much life are you getting out of them?

I've got a vega - was too lazy to make a duplicator myself- and have been thinking about making my own tool holder for the 35 degree cabride inserts. i know vega sells them - but they are about $80

I make my templates just about the same way, except i cut the paper very rough, then spray adhesive and stick the paper to the template, then i cut it out on the bandsaw.....makes it a bit easier to tell which one is which once you get a bunch of them.
