Where can I get a new screw?
BEST ANSWER: Not sure where you could find a machine screw to told the cutter to the tool. I do know it is a 4.0 x 0.70 metric countersunk screw approx. 1/4 long. It also has a T15 Torx head. I believe the countersink is a 90 degree but cannot confirm. That taper is critical to holding the bit securely to the tool. Maybe Rockler has the exact specs or replacements?
Hope this helps.

how long do the cutters last?
BEST ANSWER: This isn't an easy question to answer. It's almost like the old riddle, "How long is a piece of string?"
Answer: Twice as long as half as much.
Not at all helpful, I know, but it depends on the wood you are cutting, whether it's easy or difficult to turn, how long or short or infrequent your turning sessions are and whether or not you remember to turn them a bit when you find the cuts aren't going smoothly enough. Use a set until the wood just isn't responding the way it should, then replace the blade.
Hope that helped. Too many variables to get specific.

I purchased a mini carbide set. on my first try using the round carbide tool the cutter flew off. I have not yet found it or the screw that went with it. no problem just go down to Rockler a buy another. found a cutter replacement at Rockler but they don't sell the screw. So I called tech support but they don't sell the screw. They don't have any extra screws. I have been all over looking for a screw and can not find one to fit. If you lose the screw good luck.

This carbide tip stays sharp. I've Used it down to half. I bought one extra of each when I bought these. I have not opened any of the extras I bought yet. I have dulled about half of the round and square. I don't use the diamond a lot.
