The GX and HX seem to differ by only the depth of cut. The BX is a different diameter. I suspect the main issue is that the GX is out of stock in most places (probably a reflection that many vendors do not actually hold stock and just drop ship product from one central supplier)

I've just wasted too many of whatever minutes remain to me trying to buy a C121GX1/4TC cutter for next day delivery at a reasonable cost, but being offered C121HX1/4TC and C121BX1/4TC. Is there a standard coding system that I failed to find? (If anyone from Trend is reading this can I suggest that a link to a part number decode would be a useful addition to your website).

Yes, I eventually sussed that but an explanation of their p/n coding would have saved some time (I've got Covid again so maybe I was being even more slow and grumpy than usual ;-) ). I'd have preferred the smaller size (this is mostly needed for cutting hinge rebates) but it's not critical so went for the "BX" because it was available at a good price and should arrive today.

Huh! I'm still waiting for a delivery promised for 13th. April by EVRi Hermes!
