Tungsten Carbide Brazed Cutting Tools

In the tool industry, brazing fastens hard metals -- including tungsten carbides -- to the tips of tools such as saw blades. Cutting tools are often made with tungsten carbide because of its hardness, a desirable quality for cutting tools so they don't wear out and dull too quickly. A variety of tungsten carbide cutting tools on the market are used to sculpt super-alloy components in aircraft engines, cast-iron engine blocks, steel axles, gears and bearings, as well as tungsten carbide saws and drills.

Tungsten carbide Saw Blades

Tungsten carbide saw blades can be used to cut almost all home building materials. They're used to cut stainless steel, wood, particle board, ferrous and non-ferrous metals, laminates and fiber cement board.

Oscillating Blades

Because of the repetitive nature of the oscillating motion, oscillating blades can be tungsten carbide-tipped to prevent the blade from dulling out quickly. Tungsten carbide-tipped oscillating blades are most often used to shave down grout and plaster.

Tungsten Carbide Burs

Welders use carbide burs to grind back and cut into welds. They are manufactured in almost every shank and size you can imagine, from ball-shaped to cone-shaped to the inverted cone.
