   Yep. Any interrupted  cuts, anything where you need a really sharp edge   
   (copper,anyone?), anywhere you do not have overwhelming power - inserts   
   are designed for use in powerful machines and don't usually have sharp   
   edges, so need more power than HSS.   
      
   Horses for courses. Though I mostly use inserts myself even on a minilathe.
