Thanks Adev and Sparky. I'm sure I'll be making more tooling for inserts, with these and others as I pick them up -- probably always at a sale of some sort. It's fun making cutters and trying to figure out how to use this miscellaneous stuff.

These square tips are working very well now on the mill I made -- I was right, cutting down with it is a far more effective method than positioning to cut the side of a groove  --- you get the same internal square shoulder either way, but the former is much quieter and smoother, with a much better depth of cut.

Here I'm using it to widen a groove in downward fashion today, That's a 20 thou depth of cut, and it was nice and smooth -- comfortable on my mill drill into this iron blank I cast for a boring table:

Hi
          I bought a power feed for my 626, it is one of the best things I have aquired and only use hand feed on cross way.
          I have seen a few windscreen motor power feeds working very well.
                                       
                                                                          Cheers David
