Micro 100 RSC-312-1 Engraving Tool
The Micro 100 RSC-312-1 is a carbide engraving tool with a 60 degree included angle and a 0.0040 inch tip radius. It is intended for machinists and fabricators who need precise marking or light engraving on metal workpieces using a powered or pneumatic holder.
Carbide construction and uncoated finish
The solid carbide body resists wear during repeated contact with steel, aluminium or brass, keeping the 60 degree point sharp longer than high-speed steel alternatives. The uncoated surface avoids coating buildup that can alter the fine tip geometry, so the 0.0040 inch radius stays consistent for repeatable line width.
Shank fit and run-out control
The tool shank is sized for standard 1/2 inch engraving holders, so installation is a matter of tightening the collet or set screw until the tool seats fully. Excessive run-out from a worn holder or loose clamping is the most common cause of chatter and broken tips, so verify holder condition before use. Buyers who need a different included angle or a coated version for abrasive materials will need a separate tool.

Questions about this item
When will the carbide tip on this 60 degree engraving tool need replacement?
The uncoated carbide tip wears gradually; replace it when the 0.0040 inch tip radius no longer cuts cleanly or when the 1/2 inch cutting length shows visible rounding.
What limits continuous engraving with this single-flute carbide tool?
Heat buildup in the uncoated carbide is the first limit; sustained cutting without coolant will dull the 60 degree edge faster than intermittent use.
How much heat and vibration does this tool generate during a full-day engraving run?
The solid carbide body runs warm but stays manageable; vibration stays low because the single 60 degree flute engages material smoothly at the 0.0040 inch tip.
