Carbide woodcutting tools’ advantages include tougher and longevity.
Tougher
Some hardwoods contain small particles of silica or minerals that can dull normal steel. Particleboard and other composite wood products may contain sand, small rocks or other kinds of debris in their cores that can damage or even ruin a common steel blade instantly. carbide woodworking tools are tough enough to cut through most debris without causing any damage to the blade or its tip. Bullets, nails and screws are commonly found inside rough, re-purposed lumber. If you hit one of these things with a normal blade, it's finished. A carbide-tipped tool may cut through them and you won't even notice.
Longevity
Carbide tips can be replaced when they wear out or break, and most tool-sharpening shops can weld new tips onto a wood working tool. The initial cost of a carbide-tipped tool is more, but the tips are replaceable, making the tool more affordable in the long run. Carbide-tipped tools last almost indefinitely if the blade body or router-bit shaft remains in good shape. It's not uncommon for carbide-tipped woodworking tools to last 20 years or more if they are taken care of and the tips are replaced regularly.
