Today i had a chance to test out some cutters for my Ci1 i have.....In short they are the same and work perfectly as the originals in my opinion. I bought a pack of 10 and 1 radius cutter - put them up to eachother and side by side and there is no difference in thickness or anything else i can tell. i roughed out several bowls today using it and it works perfectly fine......on the AAW forum someone else posted the vendors name and add etc - i wanted to wait before expressing my opinion until i tried them....In short im glad i bought them and will continue using them - below is the information if anyone else is interested......

I finally found 2" radius carbide insert for Ci1 Easy Rougher.
They are designed specifically for wood cutting.

Craig(Ci1 guy) sells 3 types of inserts for Ci1:

1 Ci1 Square Roughing Cutter

2 Ci1 R4 Roughing/Finishing Cutter

3 Ci1 R2 Finishing Cutter

The last one(I like it the most) till now was nowhere to be found other than at Craig's at $14 a pop.
Square or 4" radius inserts are available everywhere for about $3.

I don't know the price of 2" radius insert yet but I am sure it'll be around $3-4 each. You'll probably will have to buy 10 pack though.
