Where else besides metal press punches can carbide be found. I know some drill bits are but how can you tell which ones

Metal Lathe Bits can have replaceable carbide inserts in the shape of triangles. Some of those electric drywall router bits are solid carbide; so are some Dremel tool cutters. I laughed when I saw how one fellow at a surplus store separated High Speed Steel bits from solid Carbide, because of the simplicity of it.... He used a strong small magnet.... HSS bits pop to a magnet and resist getting pulled off. Carbide bits have about 1/3 the attraction of steel bits. When you try a few, you'll know which bits are which. Try it.

carbide is easy to spot. its a darker shade then steel also very heavy like lead. in a tool room most times u get it from cutting tools. inserts, endmills, lathe tools, grinding burrs, drills,

Vargg ! I would recommend you to get in touch with Carbide Recycling Company. They are buying the Scraps world wide. As all of us are aware that the prices are the subject of transmogrify. It can change any time. Anyway, you need not to worry about, they are offing the best price in the market (same day). Carbide Recycling Company is the trusted name among the Scrap metals. Here you can sell carbide, tungsten , High speed steels and many others too. Hope this will help

I worked as a machinist for years and didn't realize that carbide was so valuable. We would just chunk old bits which was everyday. It doesn't take too many endmills to make a pound either.
