Default What use for carbide pieces ??

Hi

I inherited a number of carbide pieces (says carbide tantalum on the
box) like carbide inserts but in mainly square form, ranging from
smaller than your little finger nail to three times that size.

Obviously they are meant to be brazed onto a carrier - are thy still
relevant in the world of indexable inserts as they will need quite a
bit of grinding to shape them - is it very difficult
to grind them ??

I am a novice metal worker with a Myford and a Rong Fu desk top mill

thanks
