What Is Tungsten Carbide Tool?

A tungsten carbide tool refers to any metal tool with a carbide-based tip or work surface. This includes hand-held tools such as screwdrivers and handsaws, as well as large-scale equipment like wood routers or industrial cutting machines. Many drills use carbide bits, and most woodworking tools and saws feature carbide cutting blades. The carbide used to make these tools is a blend of carbon and another element, typically tungsten or silicon.



The standard carbide tool is not made from pure carbide. Instead, the tool is crafted from steel or another inexpensive metal. A carbide tip or blade is then fastened to the steel base through a brazing process. For example, a typical carbide saw blade is constructed primarily from steel. The cutting teeth around the edge of the blade, which are made from carbide, are then joined to the circular base to form a complete blade.
