Why is cermet better for steel finishing than carbide?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-top: 5px; font-size: 0.95em;\"\u003eCermet (Ceramic-Metal) has a low affinity for steel, meaning the work material won't stick to the tool. This prevents Built-Up Edge (BUE) and results in a much smoother surface finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 15px; background: #f9f9f9; border-radius: 5px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: bold; margin: 0;\"\u003e2. Can I use these for Aluminum?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-top: 5px; font-size: 0.95em;\"\u003eNo. For aluminum, we recommend uncoated sharp carbide (like TaeguTec K10).
