Carbide inserts
We review coated and uncoated turning, milling, threading, grooving, boring and indexable inserts. Used, chipped, broken and obsolete insert stock can be quoted. Keep ceramic inserts and steel holders separate, preserve useful grade labels and photograph the full tray or bucket as well as representative cutting edges.
Solid carbide cutting tools
Solid carbide end mills, drills, reamers, taps, burrs, routers, rods and blanks are common machine-shop scrap. Separate them from high-speed steel cutters and steel-bodied tools. Broken solid tools can still be reviewed, and close photos of flutes, shanks and fractured ends help with identification.
Industrial carbide and wear parts
Buttons, dies, punches, nozzles, seals, saw tips, mining components and other wear-resistant carbide may require individual review. Brazed pieces often include substantial steel weight, so they should not be presented as clean solid carbide. Send multiple angles and explain the equipment or process that produced the parts.
Sludge, swarf and mixed lots
Carbide grinding sludge, swarf, dust and wet byproduct require contamination and moisture details. Keep them separate from clean tools, coolant waste, floor sweepings and steel chips. For mixed shop cleanouts, sort obvious categories, estimate each weight and show every container so the buyer can recommend the next step.
