I decided to take a chance and try buying some inserts on eBay for my home shop. I have heard of fake inserts on there, so I specifically looked for a US seller (this one was TX) with a lot of positive feedback selling inserts (99.9% positive with many reviews relating to inserts) selling name brand, sealed inserts. Ended up ordering a sealed box of Iscar CCMT 3-1-SM IC907 inserts and a sealed box of Iscar CCMT 3-2-SM IC907 inserts at the same time from the same seller. Had I not ordered both of these I probably would not have noticed that although the tops of the back packaging look correct with individual information for each type of insert, everything from the material designation down matches exactly between the two different inserts including the bar code which judging from what I can find online is the bar code for the CCMT 3-1-SM inserts - 05504773. The bar code for the CCMT 3-2-SM inserts should be 05504774 from what I can find. This leads me to believe that the inserts are fake, but I am looking for an opinion from someone that may be more knowledgeable. Thank you for your help!
