Micro 100 Brazed Carbide Tool Bit
This Micro 100 brazed tool bit is a single-point cutting tool made from HAWA carbide with a zinc shank. It is designed for right-hand turning operations on a lathe. Machinists and toolmakers select it for general-purpose metal removal where a rigid, ready-to-use bit is required.
1/2 Inch Shank Width Fits Tool Holders
The shank width measures 1/2 inch, which determines whether the bit seats securely in your lathe tool post or quick-change holder. Verify that your holder accepts this exact width before purchasing, as an incorrect fit will prevent proper clamping and cutting geometry.
Right-Hand Geometry for External Turning
The right-hand orientation directs chips away from the workpiece during external facing and turning cuts. The brazed carbide tip eliminates the need for separate insert indexing, while the 6-inch overall length provides reach for deeper features. The HAWA material resists wear in steel and cast iron applications.

Questions about this item
What does the 1/2 inch shank width mean for tool-holder fit?
The 1/2 inch shank fits standard tool holders and lathe tool posts sized for that dimension, giving a secure grip without shims.
How does the RC carbide grade affect cutting performance?
RC grade carbide balances wear resistance and toughness for general-purpose turning of steel, cast iron and non-ferrous metals.
What clearance does the 6 inch overall length need in the tool post?
The 6 inch length requires a tool post with at least that much vertical opening plus room for overhang and lock-down bolts.
