Micro 100 Brazed Tool Bit
The Micro 100 AR-10 is a single-point brazed tool bit made from HAWA material with a 5/8 in shank width. It is intended for right-hand turning operations on a lathe. The bit measures 4 in overall length and weighs 0.4 lb. It suits machinists and maintenance technicians who need a durable carbide-tipped cutting tool for general-purpose metal removal.
Suited for manual lathe work.
This tool bit fits operators running conventional engine lathes or bench lathes who prefer a solid brazed carbide tip. It is not designed for CNC tool holders that accept indexable inserts, so shops standardised on insert-based tooling should look elsewhere. Buyers who need multiple cutting geometries from one holder or who require quick edge changes without regrinding will not be served by this fixed-geometry bit.
Holds edge during extended cuts
Under sustained turning loads the brazed carbide tip retains hardness and resists crater wear better than high-speed steel equivalents. The HAWA substrate dissipates heat steadily, allowing longer uninterrupted passes without the edge softening that occurs in shorter bursts. Operators can maintain consistent surface finish and dimensional accuracy over the full length of a workpiece rather than seeing degradation after the first few minutes of cutting.

Questions about this item
What tool holder or shank size do I need to fit the 5/8 in width?
Use a holder or tool post that accepts a 5/8 in shank; the bit is a right-hand, single-point design made from HAWA carbide with zinc.
Will this carbide bit work on the same lathe setup I use for high-speed steel tooling?
Yes, it fits standard 5/8 in tool posts; carbide allows higher cutting speeds than HSS, so adjust feeds and speeds accordingly.
How can I confirm the bit is cutting correctly after installation?
Check for a clean, continuous chip and a smooth surface finish; the right-hand geometry should produce consistent results on facing and turning passes.
