I agree Willie. Tough decision but I went ahead and ordered the kit. I hate grinding tools, probably because I suck at it.

Ed,
You won't regret your decision buying that kit. Keep the tool loaded in a holder on center and leave it that way. Whenever you need a groove, pop in your insert and go to town.
Simple rule of thumb for grooving. If you do not have an insert that is full width (from the ones supplied with the kit), use one small enough to step over half the width of the insert.
Ex: .050" wide groove - use a .035" wide and step over .015" to finish.
You should NOT use the .043" wide (in the kit) and step over .007".
Always try to step over at least half the width of the insert and it will keep the side walls straight.
Best Regards,
Russ
