Q: How does this carbide cutter compare to standard steel bits? A: Carbide maintains sharp cutting edges much longer than steel, reducing chatter and producing cleaner holes with consistent diameter throughout hundreds of repairs. This translates to less frequent tool replacement and more reliable prep work in high-volume shop environments where consistency matters.
