Carbide Inserts Buyers Canada

We Buy All Indexable Carbide Inserts

Indexable carbide inserts are the backbone of modern CNC machining, turning, and milling operations. Because of their high density and high concentrations of cobalt and tungsten carbide (WC), scrap inserts and used inserts hold exceptional recycling value.

At Carbide Buyers Canada, we buy all types of tooling including carbide drill bits, boring tools, and thread cutters. Using specialized handheld analyzers and our dedicated testing equipment, we analyze the exact cobalt percentage and purity of every insert lot. Our advanced recycling pipeline allows us to offer you competitive prices per pound on the spot. Based in Ontario, we travel across Canada to pick up from machine shops, industrial plants, and manufacturing centers.

How to Maximize Your Inserts Payout

To get the absolute highest price per pound for your scrap inserts, keep these simple guidelines in mind:

• Remove Steel Backings & Screws: Steel significantly lowers the purity grade of the lot. Ensure all inserts are removed from steel tool holders, boring bars, and that no steel locking screws remain.
• Keep Them Dry: While we accept wet/oily carbide, completely dry inserts are easier to inspect and weigh accurately, ensuring you get the maximum value.
• Separate by Grade: Keeping inserts separate from solid tools (like end mills or drills) helps us assess the lot grade quickly and offer you the highest specialized rate.
