One of the girls that works at the local coffee shop, saves any "odd" coins that come through for me.. This was in her change drawer today.. hehe I know what it is (not a coin) but I'll let you guys guess (btw i paid her a dollar for the nifty gold coin lol) I'll add it's just a hair bigger then i dime...
close it is carbide I suppose it could be called an insert... it is a 6 sided carbide cutting blade for a milling/cnc machine. we used very similar at TCA when i worked there
Insert is correct. They mount on the end of a tool bar that mounts on the machine. Before they made these they would weld the carbide to the bar.
