Description

The Carmex Carbide Tiny Tools Back Turning Tool (MXL) is a compact, precision cutting tool designed for small turning tasks. Its specialized back-turning geometry helps you create accurate, clean surfaces on the backside of small workpieces—perfect for tight pockets and limited-access features. Made from premium carbide, it delivers excellent wear resistance and long tool life, even in demanding applications. With a small form factor, a 5.1 mm minimum diameter, a 22 mm reach, and a left-hand orientation, it’s a versatile choice for engineers, shop floor technicians, and hobbyists working on precise small parts.

  • Back-turning optimized geometry: Enables precise backside surfaces with minimal finishing steps, improving dimensional consistency and reducing rework.
  • Compact size with 5.1 mm min diameter and 22 mm reach: Access tight features and reach into confined areas, making it ideal for small shafts, bushings, and intricate back-cut operations.
  • Premium BMK carbide for durability: Hardened carbide with wear resistance that keeps a sharp edge longer, lowering tool changes and delivering reliable, repeatable cuts.

Using this tool in your workflow helps you achieve consistent backside finishes on small parts, streamline setup in tight spaces, and extend tool life across multiple jobs. The combination of compact form, exact reach, and durable carbide supports faster throughput, fewer interruptions, and more predictable results across batches.
