    Keep an eye on Market Place as they come up from time to time
    Great idea. That's a price I can reach right now, cheers.

    Excellent reviews, thanks. interesting to hear you're finding the blades need replacing already after a few months though.

    Unfortunately they only come with HSS cutters so they won't last any longer than the single straight blades. Once you change over to carbide they will last significantly longer.

    Well a few weeks really but I haven't rotated them at all and they just feel like they are going off a little and with what i'm about to hit that poor little thing with the carbide cutters were/are the sensible option
