3D3DTungsten carbide inserts.
The Boeing aircraft company operates a wonderful surplus store in Kent, Washington (near Seattle). These are solid tungsten carbide cutting inserts: They each fit a particular milling bit, where they are clamped or screwed into place. When they wear out, they can be replaced, allowing the body of the bit to be used indefinitely.
