Micro 100 BT-6 Box Turning Tool Bit 3/8 Shank Solid Carbide

Product Description

The MICRO 100 BT-6 is a single-point box turning tool bit designed for internal turning and boring operations on a lathe. Built with a solid carbide tip, it delivers the hardness and wear resistance needed for consistent performance in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The right-hand cutting direction suits standard lathe setups. The shank measures 3/8 x 3/8 inches with an overall length of 2 inches, making this a compact, rigid tool suited for tight bore work. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals reach for this style of bit when finishing or sizing internal bores to close tolerances.

This tool bit is intended for use in manual and CNC lathes where box turning or internal finishing operations are required. It fits into standard tool holders or boring bar setups that accept a 3/8-inch shank. Typical applications include sizing box bores, finishing internal diameters, and light to moderate material removal on ferrous metals, aluminum, and other machinable alloys. It is sold individually, making it a practical replacement or addition to an existing set of turning tools.

Key Features

• Solid carbide tip for high hardness and extended tool life
• Right-hand cutting direction for standard lathe orientation
• 3/8 x 3/8 inch shank fits common tool holders and boring setups
• Compact 2-inch overall length suits tight internal bore clearances
• BT-style geometry optimized for box turning applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style single-point turning bit for use in manual or CNC lathes that accept a 3/8-inch square shank tool holder or boring bar.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist or tool-and-die technician. Power down and lock out the lathe before seating or adjusting the tool bit in the holder. Ensure the shank is fully seated and clamped securely to prevent tool movement during cutting. Inspect the carbide tip for chipping or wear before each use, as a damaged tip can affect surface finish and dimensional accuracy.
