Brazed Carbide Tool Buyers — Nationwide
Sell Your Brazed Carbide Tools and Carbide-Tipped Tooling
Brazed carbide tools — where a carbide tip or insert is brazed onto a steel shank — are purchased by Carbide Kings from machine shops, tool rooms, and manufacturers across the US. While brazed carbide commands a lower price per pound than solid carbide, it still contains recoverable tungsten value worth selling rather than discarding.

Brazed Carbide vs. Solid Carbide Pricing
Brazed carbide tools are priced differently from solid carbide because the steel shank dilutes the tungsten content per pound. A brazed turning tool might be 80% steel and 20% carbide by weight — so the effective tungsten content per pound of the whole tool is much lower than a solid carbide endmill.
We price brazed carbide tools based on the estimated carbide content. In some cases, we may request that carbide tips be separated from steel shanks to maximize the value you receive. Contact us and we'll advise on the best approach for your specific material.
