I'm new to the world of carbide inserts so I have no comparison. However, I have found these inserts to cut a variety of steels very well. Playing with the feed and RPM resulted in a surface finish that I could never achieve with an HSS tool. While they're not cheap, they're better than sharpening tools from scratch, a process I've never really been able to master. I bought these to replace an Accusize SWGCR08-2J plate that I broke. Engraved on the side of the tool it requires a WCMT22.52 insert and I bought these hoping they would fit even though they were listed as WCMT2.52 on Amazon. They fit perfectly and thanks to same day delivery I'm making chips in the basement again. Overall I am very satisfied with Accusize products. I recently purchased their broach tool and cut my first 3/16" keyway in the dies I made and it worked great too.
