Description

The Carmex Carbide Tiny Tools Back Turning Tool (MXL) in BMK grade is a compact, precision carbide cutter built for small turning tasks. With a 5.1 mm minimum diameter and 15 mm reach, plus left-hand geometry, it lets you reliably finish the backside of tiny parts with clean, accurate surfaces, reducing rework and setup time.

  • Back turning capability for small parts: Enables clean, accurate backside finishes on tiny workpieces, reducing secondary operations and improving overall part quality.
  • BMK-grade carbide for long tool life: Premium carbide formulation delivers excellent wear resistance and strength, helping it withstand heat and chatter in micro-turning jobs.
  • Compact left-hand design with 15 mm reach: Optimized for tight spaces and constrained setups, allowing you to access difficult areas with minimal tool interference.

With the Carmex Tiny Tools Back Turning Tool, you gain a reliable, easy-to-use solution that enhances precision and throughput on small parts. The BMK carbide provides durable performance, while the compact, left-handed geometry improves accessibility and finish quality in challenging features—so you can finish parts faster, reduce rework, and maintain tight tolerances across production runs.
