FIELD: methods for manufacture of cutting tools, in particular, hard-alloy ones by casting. SUBSTANCE: method includes cleaning of hard-alloy insert from oxides, installation of insert sand mold and formation of pile from them, heating of pile and filling with melt, cooling and removal of casting. Pipe is assembled in container and heated up to 450-500 C. Then container with pile is installed in shielding casing. Filling and crystallization are carried out at pressure of 0.3-0.5 MPa and at temperature of beginning of crystallization. Pressure is maintained up to the end of crystallization. EFFECT: higher efficiency. 2 cl, 2 dwg
