Rugged enough for use with virtually all materials, Carmex’s new Mini Chamfer tools are the ideal solution for
deburring, back chamfering and grooving operations. Designed with spiral flutes for smoother cutting action, the tools offer double-side cutting and are available in both long-reach 45-degree and 150-degree configurations. Constructed from rugged MT8-grade carbide, the surfaces are triple coated with advanced PVD triple coating for high heat resistance, smoother cutting and high performance in virtually all materials.
According to Jim White, national sales manager for Carmex USA, “This latest addition to our family of Mini Tools answers the need frequently expressed by users of Swiss-style lathes for tooling that delivers higher productivity and longer life in operations ranging from conventional materials to the latest special alloys and exotics. The quality and versatility of the new Mini Chamfer tooling continues the Carmex tradition of extreme performance and longer tool life.”
