Never heard of them.
I don't know why, but it's the kind of website that I don't like the look of!
Didn't see anything that looked tempting in any way, thankfully!

I used a JP curved bit on my old TB, which I think is similar but a lot cheaper. The main difference I can see between the two is how the joint is made in jointed bits.
Here's a link to the bit I used -
