Description

The Carmex Carbide Tiny Tools Back Turning Tool (MXL) is a precision cutting tool designed for small turning tasks. Its dedicated back-turning geometry enables accurate backside surfaces on miniature workpieces, delivering clean, repeatable results with controlled engagement.

Crafted from premium-grade carbide (K20), this tool delivers exceptional durability, wear resistance, and long-lasting performance. Its compact 4.1 mm minimum diameter and 15 mm reach, combined with a left-hand orientation, are ideal for accessing tight features and performing precise back-turning operations in cramped setups.

  • Back turning precision for small parts: Specialized geometry designed to create accurate backside surfaces on tiny components with minimal chatter and consistent finish.
  • Durable carbide construction (K20): Premium-grade carbide provides strong edge retention and wear resistance, reducing downtime for tool changes and maintaining stable performance over time.
  • Compact, left-hand geometry for tight spaces: 4.1 mm minimum diameter and 15 mm reach allow access to recessed features, while the left-hand orientation supports predictable cutting direction in common setups.

This tool helps you achieve repeatable backside finishes on small parts, streamline setups in constrained spaces, and maintain reliable performance across production runs. Its durable carbide and compact profile make it a dependable addition to any turning toolkit, empowering faster setups, cleaner surfaces, and consistent results.
