I never had the urge to try single insert indexable endmills. Just figured they wouldn't work well with my little mill/drill. I do have a 1" indexable end mill though that uses APKT inserts. Found this set of 3 on Amazon for over 1/2 off, paid $50. They're coolant through so my guess they weren't good sellers & wanted to get rid of it. At that price I decided to give them a shot cause I have the inserts already, same size as my 1". Figured I'd use them for semi-roughing to save life on my regular end mills. 3/8", 1/2", & 5/8", all have 1/2" shanks, the 5/8" uses 2 inserts.
