can I use carbide, or do I need additional 'equipment' to use it this way, if so what 'equipment'?

I do not know, I only use Pyrodex and pack it with oatmeal to get compression and the bang.

I know you can use either one, but have never tried it using parts of both, sorry

I'm not sure what your trying to use with it. I use bits designed for side cutting.

It depends. The carbide blades at two sided, and I have seen the steel blades in both the two sided and four sided design. I would just say that, to be safe, just consider them two sided. Also, I recommend the carbide blades over the steel blades.

First you will have a Left and Right outer blade. The chippers will then fit inside with NONE of the Carbide teeth touching. Real simple as long as your careful to make sure they don't touch. You have to use both outer blades as one has Carbide teeth facing the opposite way from the other. ( Meaning when both blades are turning in the same direction and next to each other, or a chipper, the Left side carbide will be on the left outer side and so forth with the Right) . Again, make sure NO carbide teeth are touching and there shouldnt be any problem.

Im with Kevin and Dave, don't use anything but estwing. Solid metal allows you to do a lot with it and to it without worrying about it breaking.

No, you cannot do this. For this purpose I suggest you to use butane burner, which you can buy separately

i used a 3/8 drill to drill out a blade with carbide tips from another mfg. i had to ream it alittle but it was fine and the blade lasts 10 times longer at 1/3 the price;

You could, but I think this has more power than you need. I would try a rotary hammer drill (set to hammer only), with a chisel bit.

No, you can't. We use diamond honing stones for them. Then finish it with a silicon carbide sharpener.

You will need an oxy-acetylene tank set to attach to this torch. Here's an example:http://www.amazon.com/Xtremepowerus-Professional-Acetylene-Welding-Cutting/dp/B00C1RXSQS/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1420230483&sr=8-4&keywords=oxy-acetylene+tanks

Equipment wise you will only need a set of 9mm and 45 lee carbide dies. Though I recommend the lee hand priming tool and universal priming shell holders as the press doesn't prime as fast as you can with that piece.

I am unaware of any way to use bits on this multi-tool... It did not come with a toolkit or bits and there is no way to attach an extender or bit to the multitool to make it into a bit driver. You just have the tools that fold out of the middle and the pliers.

makes no difference thick or thin blade ,1st use sharpening rod then carbide ,then finish w/ ceramic . The sharpening rod must b used properly !!!

Carbide is the courser of the two. Use it for a few strokes first to take away the roughest area. Then use the ceramic to fine hone the edge. The shape of the edge that this provides will last a good long time and be as sharp as a razor blade. When passing the blade through, if it feels "gritty" its removing material. When it feels "smooth" that step is done.

No u do not need anything else it comes with the drill and all the bits you need for it. I know alot of the reviews about this item are not that great but I use mine all the time and have had no issues with it I love it! I how this helps

Though I have NOT tried granite I would say at worst you may need the carbide tip which I believe is available. The one that came with my kit has worked so far on a lot of tools/metals and still seems good to go.
