Engraving Tool 30° Carbide
Micro 100 RTC-187-1 is a single-flute engraving tool ground from uncoated carbide for a 30 degree included angle. It is intended for machinists and engravers who need a sharp, wear-resistant point for detail work in ferrous and non-ferrous metals.
7/16 Inch Length of Cut
The tool requires a holder or collet that accepts the shank and a rigid machine spindle to minimise runout. Its 7/16 inch length of cut lets the tip reach into shallow pockets and fine features without excessive overhang, freeing up tool clearance for close-quarter engraving passes.
.0040 Inch Tip Radius
Under sustained cutting the carbide tip holds its geometry and resists edge breakdown better than high-speed steel. The small .0040 inch radius produces consistent line widths during long engraving cycles, reducing the frequency of tool changes for batch marking jobs.

Questions about this item
How does the .0040 in tip radius hold up during continuous engraving?
The carbide construction and uncoated finish resist wear on the .0040 in tip, maintaining the 30 degree angle through extended cutting passes.
What heat or vibration should I expect when running this engraver all day?
Solid carbide dissipates heat efficiently and the rigid 7/16 in length of cut reduces chatter during prolonged operation.
Which holder or collet do I need to run this 7/16 in carbide tool?
The tool requires a holder or collet that accepts the 7/16 in length of cut shank; verify your machine’s clamping range before use.
