No you don't, they're a different size.

Flintlock, the inserts you've provided the drawings for appear to have a radiused edge but I can't see anything on the drawing to indicate whether it's a 100mm or 150mm radius. Try SJE - Byrd, CTS, Carbatec, Hafco, Felder Spiral/Shelix/Helix cutter head carbide inserts/knives/blades - he will be able to help you if you send him a message. They may be the same as the Shelix uses.

Do you know what grade of carbide they are?

The figure at the top left of the insert. Is that Dia. 197? Which would be close to 100mm Radius.

That is probably the case. The carbide grade is KO1. These ones may fit - Byrd Shelix Cutterhead Carbide Inserts. Best to check with Steve at SJE to confirm the fitment, he's a member on here and plenty of other forum members sing his praises.

Plus one for Steve at SJE Tools...

I do actually, mr. smart trousers. I haven’t listed the 15 x 15 radiused edge ones though because I didn’t want to flood the for sale pages with stuff and look like I’m a commercial seller. I’m just taking my time with them.

You're the expert RB. That's why you were suggesting that the ones you have listed might fit an Accucut head.

I’m FAR from being an expert, having not ever seen or used an “accucut” head that I can remember, let alone never suggesting that some of the thousands of inserts I have may or may not fit one. But that’s ok, I just thought that the good folk here on the forum may be interested in buying some, up to them to work out if they fit or not, which is why I just posted a few to Tony in Ballina so he could try them, free of charge. But I guess it’s ruffled someone’s feathers or maybe threatened them, either way I’m not concerned, I’ll sell the rest of what I have on another platform.
Many thanks to those who have purchased and I wish you good luck and safe working.

PM sent.

They are 15x15x2.5R100 inserts - currently only got 20 or inserts in left in stock after a large order wiped out most of the stock Extra stock will be available in a week or 2 (as I am getting some router bits also made at the same time . . . so gotta wait on them!)

The radius in that diagram is easy enough to tell as there is 0.27mm difference between the peak of the radius and the corner.
