I saw those. They are priced about what you would expect to pay for a good shaper to use them in. I have a large collection of these that I got when I bought my big shaper, they do work ok, but they are not HSS and will not hold up like HSS in use, which means you need to use them at cutting speeds of around 50 fpm or less. Overall they are more a curiosity than a terribly useful item.
