Description

The Carmex Carbide Tiny Tools Back Turning Tool (MXL) is a precision cutting tool designed for small turning applications. Its specialized back-turning geometry enables accurate backside finishes on small workpieces, helping you achieve consistent results in a single setup. This left-hand configuration is ideal for tight spaces where access is limited.

  • Back turning precision in tight spaces: The compact MXL design enables clean, accurate backside surfaces on small parts, reducing the need for secondary operations and speeding up production.
  • Durable carbide for long tool life: Made from premium-grade carbide (K20), this tool resists wear and maintains sharpness through extended cutting cycles for reliable performance over time.
  • Compact left-hand design with defined reach: With a 6.1 mm minimum diameter and a 22 mm reach, it fits into restricted bores and delivers consistent results on delicate components.

Designed for engineers, shop-floor operators, and craftsmen alike, this tiny back turning tool delivers dependable, repeatable results on small components. Its robust carbide construction combines durability with precise geometry, helping you improve throughput, reduce rework, and maintain tight tolerances across demanding turning applications.
