Description

The Carmex Carbide Tiny Tools - Back Turning Tool (MXL) is a precision carbide cutting tool engineered for small turning applications. Its specialized back-turning geometry is designed to produce accurate, clean surfaces on the backside of workpieces, making it a reliable choice for small parts and tight tolerances.

Built from premium-grade carbide (Grade K20), this tool offers outstanding durability, wear resistance, and rigidity in demanding shop environments. With a compact 3.1 mm minimum diameter and 10 mm reach, and a left-handed orientation, it is well-suited for tight spaces and precise finishing on compact components.

  • Back-turning optimized geometry: Specifically engineered to create accurate backside surfaces on small parts, delivering consistent finishes with minimal setup adjustments.
  • Premium carbide for long tool life: Grade K20 carbide provides exceptional wear resistance and strength, reducing tool changes and extending productive cutting intervals.
  • Compact, left-handed format for tight setups: The small diameter and 10 mm reach, combined with left-hand orientation, enable easy alignment and reliable performance in restricted turning environments.

This tool helps you streamline delicate back-turning operations, improving dimensional accuracy and surface quality on small components. Its durable carbide core and purpose-built geometry support efficient setups, steady performance, and fewer downtime moments, making it a dependable addition to precision turning workflows.
