"Carbide" as used in "Carbide Drills" and "Carbide Saws" is the alloy Tungsten Carbide. Chemically the material is either Tungsten Carbide (WC) or Tungsten diCarbide (WC2). Carbide is used because of its hardness.
This is calcium carbide - CaC2.
Calcium Carbide is used in "Carbide Lamps". Water, added dropwise to Calcium Carbide yields acetylene plus calcium hydroxide. Acetylene is extremely flammable, giving a colorless flame. The calcium hydroxide present gives the flame its visibility. Calcium Carbide is used in "Carbide Lamps". Water, added dropwise to Calcium Carbide yields acetylene plus calcium hydroxide.

Copper carbide is a salt. As the element implies, the ions present are copper ions and carbide ions. Carbide ions are made of carbon atoms.
Solids made of atoms
Tungsten Carbide is made from compounds of Tungsten and Carbon. At the base level, Tungsten Carbide resembles a type of fine dark powder. This powder then made into shapes by being pressed.

There is no single compound which is called a carbide. Carbides are compounds that are made of carbon and a less electronegative element.

Whetstones, these were made from slate by the Vikings but the modern whetstone is made from Silicone carbide.
Silicone carbide ceramics, and laminates.
No. Silicon carbide is covalent.
