 tipped or coated
There are carbide coated cutters, which are not the entrails of waterfowl. Then there are carbide tipped, which are carbide blocks affixed to steel chain through the process of (I believe) silver soldering or laser soldering.
It's possible 'full carbide' is carbide-tipped, but not just carbide coated. Just like circular saw blades, the cutters are carbide, but the blade itself is steel.
By all means, correct me if I'm wrong. |
