Close look at a fresh carbide tip set.
Close look at a fresh carbide tip set. Gallery leaves exist for workshops that want a visual reference before they open a blade path. This is not a moodboard dump. Each frame ties back to a kerf habit or a disc geometry.
Use this close-up next to the Blades and Kerfs pages when you are checking chipped corners, braze lines, or resin baked onto a tip after board runs. A macro view helps a setter separate normal polishing from impact damage on carbide.
At this scale, the cutting edge tells you more than the full disc. Fresh carbide should show a crisp line with no silvering on the corner, while the braze seat must stay even without voids or heat tint. On melamine and chipboard work, tiny chips on the exit edge often point to feed pressure, blade height, or a dull scoring setup rather than a missing tooth alone.
Dust, pitch and heat marks change what you see in a workshop photo. Timber yards around Gauteng and the coast can leave very different residue on the same tooth, especially with wet pine, MDF, or laminated panel stock. Check the tip after cleaning the plate and flange area so pitch does not hide micro-fractures near the cutting corner.
