Hi Richard,
Thanks for the info. I couldn't find the inserts on the Everede site
and thought perhaps they were discontinued. Didn't find them at MSC
but Travers has them for $1.75 or $4.50 for an insert to do
threading. Now I need to figure out the part number for my bar so I
can order the right insert.

I recently bought a boring head on eBay which happened to include
an
Everede boring bar. This bar uses replaceable 3/32" triangular
inserts which seem to be tool steel. I touched up the included
insert and found that it produces a much better finish than the
brazed carbide bars I've been using.
Are these little triangular inserts available and if so, where?
Wow! What a coincidence! The Aug/Sept Machinist's Workshop has
an
article on building your own boring bar to use the Everede inserts.
The author says that MSC (and others) sell the inserts. He thinks
that "between two and three dollars each" is expensive but they last
a long time.
I haven't looked them up in "The Big Book" yet, but will try first
in the boring bar section. (Does MSC list manufacturers in the
index?
I know KBC does...)
Hope that helps,
RA
