Brazing is how the carbide is attached to the steel shank, the carbide itself is sintered.

Most carbide tools are high-temp BRAZED! I, too worked in a machine shop,
and ordered many of the tools, including M-5 for some special jobs that
could not be cooled with coolant.
I, also, ordered, and, installed a vortex cooler. Keeps things cool by
producing super cold air.

What binder? Carbide is a sintered material, which means that tiny pieces
of carbide (almost powder) are compressed under great force and heated until
it binds together as one piece.
