   I'm actually not 100% sure about this particular insert.  It might be a   
   unicorn.  I think it came on a tool.  I'll let you know how the   
   alloy/stainless inserts I bought work out when I finally destroy this   
   one and have to swap it out.   
      
   I think the big deal is that the small insert has to have smaller   
   geometry so it works better when making smaller cuts.
