Things western carbide tools insert replacement
« on: October 29, 2017, 04:10:09 PM »
I purchased a set of things western carbide tools many years ago and I am to the point that I need to replace the carbide inserts. Can any one give me some information about what inserts I need and where I can get them? I have a square and round tools. Any help would be great

You can contact Eddie directly by phone and ask him about them. He may have seen a few by now. The chance of finding the exact insert is probably not going to happen. They are very different than what other companies are using these days.

Have you sharpened your current inserts using diamond cards?  It is another option if you have not.

100 percent, my next move would be to get Eddie on the phone.
