The Carmex Carbide Tiny Tools - Small Back Turning Tool (MXL) is a precision cutting tool designed for small turning applications. It specializes in back turning operations to produce accurate, smooth surfaces on the backside of workpieces.
Built from premium-grade K20 carbide, it delivers exceptional durability and wear resistance for demanding finishing tasks. With a compact 5.1 mm minimum diameter and 15 mm reach, the left-hand tool is ideal for accessing tight features on small parts.
- Back-turning geometry for precise backside finishes: Specifically engineered to cut from the opposite side, helping you achieve accurate radii and consistent surfaces on small workpieces with fewer passes.
- Premium K20 carbide for long tool life: High wear resistance maintains edge sharpness and reduces tool changes in demanding materials, delivering reliable performance over time.
- Compact size and left-hand orientation for tight features: 5.1 mm minimum diameter and 15 mm reach allow access to narrow bores and pockets, with left-hand geometry matching specific turning setups for smoother cuts.
