Chuck,
OMG I can't believe the price on that insert!! A whopping $45 for ONE insert, are they nuts? Twice the price of the holder is just insane.
I wish you had pinged me about this before you spent the money because I've got two packages of those inserts (in a Walter grade) and would have been happy to send you a couple for free. Moreover, the Walter holder I have uses a lever clamp system, so no screws are needed. Mine is a PRDCN2525M10, so it's a 25mm square shank.
I checked the price of the Walter RCMT10T3M0 (molded) inserts and they list at about $11.50 each. The precision ground ones, RCGT10T3M0 run about $16.30 each, still considerably less money. The Walter lever clamp holders run about $100, the screw type run about the same or even a little more depending upon shank size. What size do you have?
