Micro 100 RNC-312-24 Engraving Tool 1/2" Cut Carbide

Engraving Tool 1/2 Inch Cut

The Micro 100 RNC-312-24 is a double-ended carbide engraving tool with a 1/2 inch length of cut. It is suited for machinists and fabricators who need precise marking or detailing on metal workpieces. The uncoated carbide construction provides hardness for clean lines in steel and alloys. This accessory fits compatible pneumatic or rotary holders used in shop environments.

90 Degree Included Angle

The tool features a 90 degree included angle with a 0.0040 inch tip radius for fine detail work. Carbide material maintains edge geometry during extended use without the thermal buildup common in high-speed steel alternatives. Uncoated surfaces reduce drag in softer metals while resisting chipping in interrupted cuts. No external power or cooling is required beyond the host machine.

Upgrade From Single-Point Scribes

This double-ended design replaces single-point scribes or disposable carbide inserts when bidirectional engraving is needed. The jump is worth it for operators who switch tip orientations frequently and want to reduce tool-change downtime. It does not suit applications requiring coated substrates for high-temperature alloys or abrasive non-metallics. Buyers needing larger tip radii or different included angles should verify specifications before ordering.
