Carbide inserts and indexable cutting inserts
Used and unused inserts differ in composition and coating. Please separate them from ordinary steel parts and tell us whether they are clean inserts or a mix with other tools.
MATERIALS / CARBIDE BUYING
What we buy: carbide inserts, cemented carbide and tools
An overview of materials we can assess with you. We prepare each offer based on type, purity and quantity. If you are unsure, tell us what you know about the material.
OVERVIEW
Eight material groups
You do not need to identify the exact group before contacting us. A description of the material and its origin helps us decide on the next step.
Cemented carbide rods and blanks
Cemented carbide comes as rods, blanks, fragments and other forms. Approximate quantity, purity and the presence of other metals all matter.
Carbide drills and milling cutters
Worn or broken solid drills and cutters may be suitable for purchase. Send approximate weight and describe different tool types separately.
Carbide grinding residues
Composition and contaminants matter for grinding residues. Tell us which process produced them and whether they are separate from other waste. We will assess suitability for purchase.
Mixed carbide
Do you have several carbide tool or part types together? Send an approximate breakdown of the entire mix. We can discuss whether further sorting is useful.
Other carbide parts
If your material does not fit these groups, describe its origin and use. An approximate weight and description help with an initial assessment; we confirm each purchase individually.
Tools with brazed carbide tips
Tools with brazed carbide tips also contain backing material. We assess them separately from solid carbide drills and cutters.
Selling carbide grinding residues, mixtures and other parts
We assess grinding residues, mixtures with other materials and industrial parts such as sleeves or nozzles separately. Describe their origin, approximate composition and weight; we confirm suitability for purchase and pricing for each batch.
The rate is indicative for clean carbide inserts, cemented carbide and carbide tools. We confirm the final price after assessing the material. Grinding residues, mixtures and other parts are priced individually.

HOW TO START
What to send for an initial assessment
Your first message need not be a technical specification. A few practical details are enough to start.
- Type or originTell us the tool or part type if known. Otherwise describe where it was used.
- Approximate quantityWeight in kilograms helps; an approximate range is also fine.
- Purity and contaminantsDescribe any steel parts, brazing or other materials in the lot.
- Handover locationTell us your city or region. We discuss transport based on your offer.
MATERIAL FAQ
Not sure what you have?
First we clarify the material, then the purchase terms.
Do I need to sort the materials first?
Separate basic groups if you can. For a mixture, tell us what it contains; we can agree on sorting for your specific offer.
Is a material description enough?
Yes. Tell us the material type, approximate quantity and any contaminants, or call us.
Can you quote a price from the type alone?
Purity, composition and quantity also affect the price. We confirm a specific offer after clarifying these details.
