Pērā i ngā mira mutunga, ngā drills, reamers, ngira, ngā momo kākahu me ngā rawa hanganga. Ma te miihini whakakorikori, te mahi whakamatao me te maimoatanga cryogenic, na reira ka taea e Retop carbide te whakarato i te rakau carbide pai mo o taatau kaihoko. Ko te maimoatanga Cryogenic he huarahi pai ki te whakarei ake i te aukati kakahu o te taputapu me nga tira mate, me te whakaroa i to raatau oranga.
