The Carmex Carbide Tiny Tools Back Turning Tool is a compact, high-precision cutting tool designed for small turning projects. Its dedicated back-turning geometry lets you finish the rear surface of small workpieces with accuracy and consistency, reducing the need for extra setups or secondary passes.
Constructed from premium K20 carbide, this tool delivers exceptional durability, stiffness, and wear resistance for repeated cuts on demanding materials. Its compact 6.1 mm minimum diameter and 15 mm reach, combined with a left-hand orientation in the MXL format, make it a reliable choice for tight-space turning on common small-lathe configurations.
- Compact back-turning geometry for precise rear surfaces: This design enables accurate backside finishing on small workpieces, helping you achieve consistent results in a single setup.
- Premium K20 carbide for durability and wear resistance: The carbide grade provides long tool life and reliable performance across a range of materials, reducing downtime and tool changes.
- MXL shank with 6.1 mm min diameter and 15 mm reach (Left Hand): Optimized for tight spaces and left-handed turning, this tool fits common small-lathe configurations and delivers predictable cuts on the back side of parts.
Used in the right applications, this tool streamlines finishing the back of small parts, delivering clean surfaces with fewer passes. The robust carbide construction supports steady performance over multiple jobs, while the compact geometry and left-hand orientation enhance setup speed and access in constrained setups—helping you improve throughput and part quality.
