80° Carbide Insert
While carbide inserts may have a higher upfront cost, they offer excellent value by providing four usable cutting edges per insert and significantly reducing time spent on tool sharpening.
Carbide cutters excel at machining difficult materials such as cold-rolled steel, stainless steel, and bronze, delivering consistent performance and long tool life. They are also compatible with aluminum, brass, and leaded steels—though for these softer materials, a finely honed high-speed steel tool may still yield the best surface finish.
This is the 10-pack of replacement carbide inserts for the following tool holders:
60° Carbide Tool
Carbide tools feature a small insert of extremely hard carbide brazed onto a softer steel shank. They are ideal for machining hard or abrasive materials, as they retain their hardness at temperatures up to approximately 1700°F. This allows for higher cutting speeds and faster feed rates compared to high-speed steel (HSS) tools.
Sharpening carbide tools is more challenging, requiring a silicon carbide or diamond grinding wheel. Additionally, the tool geometry is more critical than with HSS cutters. However, their superior performance on tough or abrasive materials makes them a popular choice. If your HSS tools are wearing out quickly, switching to carbide may be the solution.
