Anyone know if imported or cloned varieties of these (AXA) are available? I refer to something along these lines:
The one on the right is pretty slick... it can be used both for turning and facing operations. A clone that makes use of inexpensive TPG inserts would be killer. If I was Bill Gates, I'd buy the Aloris and be done with it, but the $$ for them is simply out of reach for most of us hobby types.
I checked Shars, no dice. Same with Penn Tools.
