I needed 3/8 cutters but I got 1/4 HSS. Anyone out there have a need for a set of 5 cutters?

I use either 3/8" or 1/8" so can't help but am surprised the Sherline can handle the 3/8".

Some time ago I bought a set of these:

when MSC had them on sale and have been very happy with them.

What happened was I mistakenly bid on a 1/4 set on ebay. I actually need 3/8. Contacted the seller and they said all sales final. Great but I didn't pay alot and will re-ebay them if I can't find a taker.

Depending on your tool holder, can you put an 1/8" shim under the 1/4" tool bit so that you can still use the ones you bought.

I ordered new (used in need of sharpening) ones off ebay. I thought about the shim but it would take 2, one under and one on the side since it's 3/8 x 3/8.
