I'm running low on these from Grizzly & would like to upgrade to something that has better performance. Any recommendations?

My everyday inserts are CNMG 432's. I sometimes will use a 431 if a need a sharper nose radius.
 
The TCMT inserts you received from Grizzly are probably of lower quality.
There are plenty of sources that would gladly take your order.
McMaster Carr
Carbide Depot
Travers usually has a value line and a professional line.
And the list goes on.
Is that what you are asking?
 
Try MSC for your inserts. Inserts vary depending on what material you're cutting.
 
TCGT inserts will get you a sharper and freer cutting edge, at the expense of longevity in steel. Would also be worth getting some turning holders too and keep the boring bar for boring.
 
I like Shars for my inserts. I usually buy their TIN inserts for steel and their high polished inserts for inserts.

You cut inserts with your inserts? ;)
