Micro 100 C-500 Brazed Tool Bit

The Micro 100 C-500 is a single-point carbide tool bit designed for manual machining operations. It features a neutral geometry with a 1/2 inch shank width and an overall length of 6 inches. The HAWA material construction provides hardness for shaping metal workpieces. This hand tool is intended for machinists and maintenance professionals who need a durable cutting implement.

Suited for manual lathe work and general shop use

This tool bit suits operators running manual lathes or performing offline tool grinding. It is not designed for CNC toolholders or automated tool changers. Buyers who need indexable inserts with screw-down clamping should look at a different product type. The neutral rake angle limits its effectiveness on materials requiring strong positive or negative geometry.

Carbide tip with HAWA material grade

The defining specification is the carbide tip made from HAWA material, which determines wear resistance and heat tolerance during cutting. This grade dictates whether the bit can handle the specific alloys and cutting speeds in your application. Verify that HAWA matches your material requirements before purchasing.

Questions about this item

Which C-500 tool bit should I choose for general turning?

The C-500 is a single-point carbide tool bit with neutral geometry, suited for general-purpose turning on a lathe.

How does the HAWA carbide perform in a real machine?

HAWA carbide resists wear and heat, keeping a sharp edge longer than high-speed steel during continuous cuts.

What does the 1/2 inch shank width limit in practice?

The 1/2 inch shank fits standard tool holders of that size, determining the maximum tool-post capacity you can use.
