Torch or gas burners, and induction heating are utilized for brazing carbide tips of tool. In all these three methods, a pocket is machined in the shank material to fit the shape of carbide insert. Induction heating is utilized by large industries to generate it in large quantity. Torch method is utilized by small industries or limited production. The major advantage of induction heating is the localized heat produced with tool shank and carbide tool. Also it is faster in compare to torch and gas burner method. Brazed tool is having lower cost. Also, it doesn't cover much space.
