I wouldn't have had a clue how they were made. Fascinating.

.. and to think they only cost a couple of quid to buy after all the work involved in making them.

Even as a Chartered engineer working in a pretty advanced industry I’m still amazed at the level of ingenuity, knowledge and science baked into items that are appearingly trivial. We do indeed stand on the shoulders of giant. Cool vid thanks!

Excellent enlightening video

Is there a retailer that we can buy these Tungsten carbide tips from; knowing they were made by this same Company ?

Cromwell Tools stock Sandvik Coromant carbide bits.

Also the usuals, FleaBay and Amazonian
