Loading... Please wait...Cermets are any metal based (and / or metal bonded) ceramic although definitions differ. Ordinary tungsten carbide is a cermet. Through translation errors cermet has come to mean Titanium based grains of ceramic such as TiC, TiN or TiCN. They typically have a Nickel / Chrome binder. Tungsten Carbide commonly refers to WC (W for Tungsten and C for Carbon) with a cobalt binder although steel cutting grades of Tungsten Carbide have had Titanium in them for several years and nickel has been used as a binder in carbide for many years as well. There are many articles on both Tungsten Carbide and Cermet Materials in our Carbide and Advanced Materials Articles Index.
There are a couple hundred grades of cermets available and well over 5,000 grades of tungsten carbide including coated grades.
In November 27, 2001 I was granted United States Patent 6,322,871 (Walz, et al.) for a method to braze cermets and ceramics for use in saws, tools and other structures. This made it possible to braze cermets and ceramics the same way tungsten carbide is brazed using the same equipment and for about the same cost.
We then started testing ceramics in sawing applications. We got some excellent results. Forintek ran tests of Cermet against carbide in western red cedar where the cermet stayed sharp about four times as long as carbide.

e, but the one adaptor allows me to use annual cutters in an older mag drill, several different drill presses and milling machines without having to own separate adaptors with shanks that match several morse taper sizes and R8 tooling. Read LessRead less about This is a well machined adaptor that
e Ridgid cast iron table and the Incra fence per the Incra directions. It all works really well. The set up took a little while but it’s sweet! I have done probably 50 cuts and each time I measure with a caliper and it’s dead on front to back on the board I am cutting. I think I am within .004 between blade and fence discrepancies. So for a Ridgid R4512 I’ll take it. Now I have a $1000 package that can hang in terms of accuracy with a nicer cabinet saw. Read LessRead less about So I added the TS-LS 32” to my
, the deal was too good to ignore and figured I would challenge any irregularities with the credit card company later. I also located a coupon code that made the price unbeatable. It must be stated, the expected delivery time on this particular unit was 6 weeks out, adding to my concern. This is the same time frame advised on the Incra web site as well. At probably 5 weeks, I was thrilled to receive delivery notice emails. The large unit came in pristine condition and packaged extremely well. I WILL NOT HESITATE TO BUY FROM CARBIDE PROCESSORS IN THE FUTURE. Thank you for the fantastic deal! Read LessRead less about I had been looking for several weeks
