Are carbide tool bits (CB) solid carbide?
Some one recently told me that they are not solid carbide, but just a coating of carbide. I sharpen my CB with a credit card diamond hone, and have been doing this for years. I recently had to replace one of my CB because I had honed it too thin for the screw to hold the bit firmly.
What are your thoughts?
