Micro 100 C-8 Carbide Tool Bit

The Micro 100 C-8 is a single-point brazed tool bit made from carbide with a zinc shank. It measures 3.5 inches in length and 1/2 inch in width. This cutting tool is designed for machinists and metalworkers performing turning operations on lathes.

Ready to use with standard tool holders

The bit installs directly into a compatible tool holder or tool post sized for a 1/2 inch shank. No additional hardware or adjustment is required beyond securing the holder clamp. Improper clamping or excessive overhang can cause vibration and poor surface finish.

Suited for general-purpose turning tasks

This tool suits operators needing a durable carbide tip for steel or cast iron work. Buyers who require indexable inserts for quick changes or specific geometry for threading should look at alternative tooling systems.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the carbide tip is cutting correctly after mounting the tool bit?

A properly mounted Micro 100 C-8 bit produces a continuous chip and a smooth finish on the workpiece; chatter or built-up edge indicates the tool needs repositioning or a different feed rate.

What comes in the package and is any holder or hardware sold separately?

The box contains the single 3.5 in. long, 1/2 in. wide carbide brazed tool bit; a compatible tool holder or clamping block must be purchased separately.

Which version of this brazed carbide bit should I choose for general-purpose turning?

The C-8 grade with neutral rake is the standard choice for general-purpose turning of steel and cast iron on a lathe.
