    Best brand for BMT 55 live tooling heads?

    I'm wanting opinions on what are the best brands for BMT 55 live tooling heads? Are the more expensive brands worth the money? Do they last longer before needing to be rebuilt? Thanks

    Eppinger is good stuff but VERY expensive.
    Try MD tooling. Great quality and reasonable prices.

    We have mainly Eppinger. They defiantly can vary in price. I found them to be very reasonable currently compairing to MD/Kennametal/Von Ruden. I was wondering if brands like Heimatec were worth the extra cost?
