Micro 100 Engraving Tool
The Micro 100 RSC-250-14 is a solid carbide engraving tool with a 60 degree included angle. It is manufactured for precision engraving tasks in machine shops and fabrication environments. The tool features a 1/2 inch length of cut and an uncoated surface. It suits operators who need a rigid, single-ended cutter for detailed work.
Carbide Tool Constraints
Carbide provides high wear resistance but is brittle compared to high speed steel. Interrupted cuts or unstable fixturing can cause chipping or catastrophic failure. The uncoated substrate limits performance in abrasive or high heat alloys where coatings extend life. Rigid machine tools and precise speed control are required to utilise the material hardness effectively.
Upgrade From High Speed Steel
This tool replaces general purpose high speed steel engraving cutters when longer tool life in ferrous materials is the priority. The jump is justified when batch sizes make frequent resharpening of softer tools uneconomical. It is not suited for hand held routing, wood, plastic or manual engraving where the carbide edge offers no advantage over tougher substrates.

Questions about this item
What does the 1/2 in cut length mean for my engraving jobs?
The 1/2 in cut length sets the maximum depth the carbide tip can reach in a single pass, giving you room for deeper lettering or wider grooves without changing tools.
How does the 60 degree angle affect the finished mark?
A 60 degree included angle produces a sharp V-profile that is standard for clear lettering and fine detail work on metal or plastic surfaces.
Is the .004 in tip size suitable for fine detail or larger characters?
The .004 in tip radius creates a very narrow groove, making it ideal for small text, intricate patterns and high-resolution engraving rather than wide strokes.
