Brand new box of ten carbide external threading inserts. Purchased wrong size in error.
They are generic, i.e. not a named brand (hence the price!) which includes mainland UK postage.

About the Author
Retired Air Traffic Controller (civil). Lived in Orne, France between 2004 and 2015. No mechanical engineering qualifications but have a life-long interest in cars. Built Fisher Fury spyder kit-car then sold it two years later and bought a Ford GT40 replica. Superb car! Sold that to part-finance house purchase.
Bought a lathe (Asian 9 x 20) clone while in France. Imported a Warco C90 bandsaw (in the boot of the car) and I have added a Warco VMC mill to replace the Amadeal XJ-12 mill I had previously, now that we have returned to live in the UK. Once I had a "proper" workshop available – OK, a single garage – I've added a Warco surface grinder, a Perfecto motorised 5" travel shaper, 3-ton press and lately (2021) a Shapeoko router table which I won in a competition!
The lathe has been improved by the addition of an electronic leadscrew and uprated 3-phase motor and VFD controlled from a remote station. Likewise the mill and shaper have had the same uprate/3-phase/VFD conversions.
