Sort solid carbide from brazed
Keep inserts, end mills, drills and burrs separate from steel-bodied brazed tooling. Photograph manufacturer markings and coatings where visible, and weigh each group separately if you can.

GEORGIA CARBIDE PURCHASING
Inserts, tooling and sludge from Georgia shops
Georgia’s machining economy runs on carbide: automotive suppliers feeding the Kia plant in West Point, aerospace machine shops around Gulfstream in Savannah, carpet-tufting and manufacturing tool rooms in Dalton, and job shops across Atlanta, Augusta, Columbus and Macon. Every one of them wears through inserts, end mills, drills, burrs and brazed tooling — and grinding operations generate sludge that still carries tungsten value. If your shop is sitting on used carbide, don’t toss it in the mixed scrap bin. Send Ironcrest photos first — even a phone snapshot of a bucket of used inserts is enough to start.
Ironcrest is based in Rolling Meadows, Illinois and serves Georgia entirely remotely. Sorting guidance: keep solid carbide inserts and tooling separate from steel-bodied brazed tooling, and keep grinding sludge in sealed containers separate from everything else. Mixed, unsorted material can still be reviewed, but clean separation improves identification and your return. Smaller lots ship through our mail-in program; larger shop cleanouts and recurring volumes go by freight.
Because we price every lot from current market conditions, the same honest grading applies whether your carbide ships from Dalton or Savannah: clean, separated material identifies fast and prices right.
Mail-in program for smaller lots
Don’t have a barrel of carbide? Our mail-in program handles smaller quantities from Georgia shops. Pack inserts and tooling securely so nothing rattles loose in transit, and include your contact details and weight.
Sludge and recurring volume
Carbide grinding sludge is still valuable — keep it sealed and free of trash. Shops with recurring insert or tooling turnover can set up a regular shipping arrangement so scrap moves instead of stacking up.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Georgia carbide scrap questions, answered.
What types of carbide scrap do you buy from Georgia shops?
We buy used and new carbide inserts, carbide end mills, drills, reamers, burrs, brazed carbide tooling and carbide grinding sludge. Send clear photos, approximate weight, whether the material is sorted or mixed, and your city or ZIP.
How does your mail-in program work for Georgia sellers?
Pack your carbide securely so nothing shifts in transit, include your contact details and the approximate weight, and ship it to our Illinois base. We identify the material, weigh it and price your lot from current market conditions. Contact us before shipping for packaging guidance on larger amounts.
Should I sort my carbide before selling it?
Yes when practical. Separate solid carbide inserts and tooling from steel-bodied brazed tooling, and keep grinding sludge sealed and separate. Sorted lots identify faster and price more accurately, but we still review mixed material — send photos either way.
How do I get today’s price for carbide scrap in Georgia?
Send photos, approximate weight, material type and your city or ZIP. We price each lot from current market conditions and the recoverable value of the carbide, so public per-pound prices are not posted.
Do you pick up carbide scrap in Georgia?
Ironcrest is based in Rolling Meadows, Illinois and does not operate a facility in Georgia. Smaller lots go through our mail-in program; pickup coordination is possible for large commercial quantities — barrels, pallets or full shop cleanouts — depending on volume, access and location. Send your address or ZIP with photos so options can be confirmed.

WHY SEND PHOTOS FIRST
Identification protects value.
Tungsten carbide grades vary, and coatings, inserts and sludge each recover differently. Clear photos, manufacturer markings and honest sorting help determine the right outlet and the best return for your Georgia lot.
