Scrap Carbide Buyback Program

We’ll pay you for qualifying carbide scrap (see the criteria below). While we get scrap that can be turned into new inserts, you’ll get cash you can turn back into new Carbide Inserts for your operations. Watch the left sidebar of this website for the per-pound price, which we update periodically.

Our program for Scrap Buyback:

• Helps in the reduction of the impact tungsten carbide scrap has on our environment
• Aids in the production of new tungsten carbide products through the collection of material
• As a valuable yet expensive material, tungsten is vital to numerous manufacturing processes. We help to extend the world’s limited reserves of this precious resource.
• Allows you to recuperate some of the expenditure on carbide inserts

We accept an assortment of materials:

• Uncoated and coated carbide inserts
• Reamers, burrs, End Mills, Drills and other solid carbide tools
• Carbide sludge and carbide dust (please call for pricing)*
• Previously brazed carbide affixed to another material (please call for current pricing)*
  *Please Note: These items require special pricing. DO NOT mix with standard scrap.

We do not accept:

• Diamond tipped inserts
• Ceramic or Cermet Inserts
• Any tools which aren’t solid carbide (carbide must not be connected or brazed to any other material)
