Micro 100 RT-312 Brazed Tool Bit
The Micro 100 RT-312 is a carbide-tipped single-point tool bit designed for right-hand turning operations. It features a brazed construction with a zinc shank and a width of 5/16 in. This tool serves machinists and maintenance teams who need a durable bit for general-purpose lathe work.
Ideal for manual lathe operators
This bit suits users performing external turning, facing or chamfering on a conventional engine lathe. It is not intended for CNC toolholders that require indexable inserts, nor for left-hand cutting applications. Buyers who need a quick-change insert system or a left-hand geometry should look at a different tool.
5/16 in shank width
The shank width of 5/16 in determines whether this bit fits your tool post or holder. Verify the holder slot size before ordering to ensure a secure clamp. The carbide tip and brazed zinc shank provide the cutting performance and rigidity for the listed dimensions.
Highlights
- Right-hand carbide bit cuts cleanly

Questions about this item
How does the 5/16 in shank width hold up during continuous cutting?
The 5/16 in shank provides a rigid cross-section that resists deflection when the carbide tip engages material for extended periods.
Does the brazed carbide tip run hot or draw extra power in all-day operation?
Carbide conducts heat differently than high-speed steel, so the tip stays harder at temperature while the zinc-coated body helps dissipate warmth.
What holder or tool post is needed to clamp the 5/16 in shank?
A standard 5/16 in square tool post or quick-change holder with matching bore will secure the bit without adapters.
