Generally, cutting tool is something which is used to remove material from the work piece by means of shear deformation. It must be made of a material which is harder than the material which is to be cut, and the tool must be able to bear the heat generated in the metal-cutting process. Cutting may be done by single-point or multipoint tools. Also, the tool must have a specific geometry. Basically, Cutting tool materials can be categorized into two types i.e stable and unstable. For example steel is an unstable material where as tungsten carbide is considered as a stable carbide cutting tools.

Cutting tools are often designed with inserts. The demand of carbide inserts are increasing day by day for its multi functions.  Basically, tungsten carbide is a chemical compound containing equal parts of tungsten and carbon atoms which is available in form of fine gray powder. It is pressed and formed into various shapes for use in  various industrial machinery, cutting tools, abrasives, armor-piercing rounds, other tools and instruments, and jewelry. 

More prominently role of carbide inserts for woodworking is very vital in this modern technological environment. Conceptually, carbide inserts consist of cemented carbide, which is made from a combination of cobalt and tungsten carbide. Tungsten carbide provides hardness, and cobalt acts as the binding agent. The ratio of cobalt to tungsten carbide also influences hardness levels of carbide inserts. Basing on this unique applicability, carbide inserts proved its wide applications.
