Tymur, I have not seen those particular carbide cutters. If I was to use them, I would go with the cutters from Mike Hunter. He is a member of the AAW and a commenter here, and people do speak highly of his products. None better. However, I do not use carbide tools. Just can't see buying some thing that will wear out and then you throw it away. I do use the Big Ugly tool which has a tantung cutting surface. It is good for about half a day's turning and then touch it up. It is not as fine of a tool edge as the micro grain carbides, but it is simple to resharpen.

Robo hippy, I watched your video from 10 years ago and followed the link to Arch Cutting Tools, but I couldn't find any similar tools there. It’s a pity you don't record new videos. I recently wrote to you about this — I believe many people would truly appreciate your experience. Thank you.)
