Carbide tools are cutting tools made from carbide, a hard material composed of carbon and metal, typically tungsten. These tools are known for their durability and ability to maintain sharp edges, making them ideal for machining and cutting various materials, including metals and plastics. Carbide tools are commonly used in industries such as manufacturing and construction. The main advantage of carbide tools is their resistance to wear and heat, which allows them to perform efficiently over extended periods. They are available in various forms, including drills, end mills, and inserts, catering to different machining needs and applications.
