Recycling carbide tools

The life of a carbide drill bit or cutting tool is measured in fractions of a millimetre, while the tool itself could be over a hundred millimetres long. There is good reason for this, but nevertheless and end-of-life tool retains significant value due to the materials and energy used to produce it. Today, when environmental impact and security of supply are becoming ever more important, the simple message is that used tools must be recycled.
