Hello KEN
This is heartening.
Just to let U know, we've just Ordered and paid for the 25mm Shank Tool with the WKP35S Inserts from eB. Got a fantastic deal - better than our Local.
Just need source for the WSM 35 S Inserts now. Maybe will get them from the local supplier's - their Price seems OK.
Have added some pics of what the Tool and the Inserts went like !!!
Can't wait now to receive our goodies.
Thanks once again for all the kind asistances
