- Field coverage — 7/8″ is a detail width; a whole wall is a job for a wider head.
- It is not filable: reach for steel (the 11000/11050 narrow blades on their own heads) if you want the scrape-and-file rhythm, or a diamond hone if you insist on dressing carbide.
- It is not a pry bar and not a struck tool — brittleness punishes both.
- And it is host-specific: the triangular 7/8″ carbide fits the 10600 only.

How the pros run it
01
Steep angle, edge trailing, pull toward the body with downforce over the cut
the pull mechanics are the same as the steel blades, but the carbide edge lets you keep cutting hard coatings long past where steel would need a file. Use the point deliberately: lead a corner into a channel, work along it, and let the edge follow. Do not pry with it and do not lever on the corner — carbide is hard but brittle, and prying or corner-striking chips it. When an edge finally dulls, rotate; when all three are gone, replace.
