They arrived today, and much to my surprise, they are Mitsubishi! They even have a recommended useage in some sort of short hand on a sticker on the bottom of the box. But I don't think my poor old Sheldon can muster up the sfm's listed, by several thousand rpms on smaller stuff. I've had pretty good luck with Mitsubishi's carbide in the past. These look to be highly polished and well finished. And with 20 boxes of them for about $88, 200 of them is likely a lifetime+ supply for me. ;-) Not tested yet, that will, acc my GP doc, have to wait till I'm cleared for shop work again. Couple weeks yet, although today I'm in pain from shoulder socket to shoulder socket that would stop me anyway. So it appears I didn't get hurt on ebay item 162842732850, so if its still available, get out your cards and grab some. $0.44 a chip is a steal no matter what logic you use...
