I have 1 of these with a 3mm Insert
as well as the generic one that comes with the carbide Insert tool sets with a 2mm insert and a few different sized ground hss tool.
I find the one in the link is quite sturdy but you really do need to on it with the speeds and feed pressure or it just chatters for fun. I've parted 30mm en16 with it no problem at around 250rpm and got nice continuous swarf off it. Only downside is the I serts are pretty pricey and if you get it jammed it will break the blade
