Carbide Tools & Blades

A carbide tool is a cutting tool that is made from a combination of tungsten carbide and cobalt. Carbide tools are used for metal and woodworking because they can cut through hard materials with high accuracy and durability. Some examples of carbide tools are turning tools, rotating tools, and lathe tools.

• Carbide tools have small replaceable carbide cutters that can be rotated to a fresh edge when they get dull.
• Carbide tools do not require any sharpening, unlike traditional turning tools.
• Carbide tools are held level on the tool rest and the edge is guided into the wood with light pressure. You do not need to angle the tool or tilt the handle like with traditional turning tools.
• Carbide tools can be used for roughing, shaping, hollowing, and finishing different types of wood.
• Carbide tools come in different shapes and sizes, such as square, round, diamond, and detailer. You should choose the right tool for your project based on the shape and size of the wood and the desired outcome

A carbide blade is a saw blade that has carbide tips attached to the teeth. Carbide is a composite material made up of carbon and other minerals, such as tungsten or titanium. Carbide blades are very durable and can cut through a variety of materials, such as metal, wood, plastic, and concrete. Carbide blades are especially useful for cutting hard and tough metals, such as stainless steel and cast iron. Carbide blades can also withstand high temperatures and high speeds, making them ideal for fast and precise cutting.
