It can be painful to get replacement inserts for those because standard ones which screw down use a 60º countersink and matching screw, while those often have a counterbore and an oddball screw size. The inserts are also often found to be an odd thickness, and sometimes even an odd I.C. size. The LH tools can be used to fashion a flycutter *IF* you can get inserts that fit and are of a worthwhile tough grade. The common problem is that turning inserts can't take the severely interrupted cut of a flycutter, so you have to find a tough grade.
