Carbide inserts are small, replaceable cutting tools made from a hard material called carbide. They are commonly used in machining processes, such as turning, milling, and drilling, to shape and cut various materials, including metals and plastics. The durability and wear resistance of carbide make these inserts ideal for high-speed operations. These inserts come in various shapes and sizes, allowing them to fit different types of cutting tools and machines. They are designed to be easily swapped out when worn, which helps maintain efficiency and precision in manufacturing processes.
