Used bits. Worn cutters. Surplus tooling.
We buy carbide scrap & used drill heads
Have old rock-drilling cutters, button bits, drill heads or carbide tooling taking up space? Send Industrial Equipment Buyer a few photos, your approximate weight and your location. We review individual lots, buckets, pallets and shop cleanouts.
A direct buying conversation. No published per-pound rate; each lot is reviewed before an offer.
What we want to look at
Drilling contractors, machine shops & equipment yards
New surplus, worn tooling and retired equipment are all worth asking about. Tell us what you have and whether the material is loose, sorted or still attached to a larger assembly.
- Rock-drilling heads & cutters
- Roller-cone cutters, button-insert cutters, rock bits and used cutting-head assemblies. Send close-ups of the teeth or inserts and a photo of the entire lot.
- Carbide inserts & cutting tools
- Solid-carbide drills, end mills, carbide cutting inserts and broken carbide tooling. Keep known solid-carbide pieces separate from mixed steel tools when practical.
- Mixed drilling-tooling lots
- Whole heads, cutter pallets, retired drilling parts and related shop surplus. We review the lot as it sits; you do not need to dismantle it just to ask for an offer.
From our buying trip
Drill heads & rock-cutting tooling
Real purchases from our September buying trip. Send photos of similar equipment or material for an offer.

Material matters
A whole drill head is not the same as solid carbide
Many rock-drilling tools have a steel body with cemented-carbide inserts. The International Tungsten Industry Association describes these mixed-material tools in its tungsten recycling overview.
We review complete heads separately from loose carbide. Photos alone do not establish carbide grade, recoverable carbide weight or the value of an entire assembly. Send the tooling as it is, along with any markings and approximate total weight.

Questions before you sell
Carbide & drill-head buying FAQs
Do you buy whole drill heads or only loose carbide?
We review both. Send photos of whole heads, roller cutters, button bits or loose carbide, along with the approximate weight and location. Complete assemblies and loose carbide are quoted separately.
Do the cutters need to be usable?
No. Worn, damaged, broken and obsolete tooling is worth asking about, along with unused surplus. An offer depends on what is actually in the lot.
What if I do not know what the drill heads are called?
Send a wide photo and close-ups of the cutting surfaces and any markings. We can discuss the lot without you having to identify every piece first.
What do you pay per pound?
We do not publish a fixed buying price. Material type, steel content, quantity, condition and pickup arrangements all affect the offer. Call or text 321-977-1194 for a lot-specific review.
Do you buy other equipment from the same site?
Yes. Include motors, wire, brass, industrial parts, machinery or work vehicles when you contact us. We can discuss those items alongside the drilling-tooling lot.
