I have two homemade versions (http://www.sawmillcreek.org/showthread.php?158714-Homemade-Version-of-Ci0-Carbide-Tipped-Gouge-Scraper) of the full size EW tools. For the rougher I use inserts that are normally used on a planner head at about $2.60 each. At that price and as long as they last(still using a box of 10 purchased 02/2011).

They really aren't worth the effort. There are lots of sources (search function) to pick them up cheap.
