Calling all machinists and lathe operators! This Micro 100 RAD-7 brazed forming tool is a serious workhorse for your shop. If you need to put a smooth, convex radius on the outside diameter of a part, this right-hand tool is designed specifically for that job. It's built tough to handle your everyday metalworking tasks.
Let's get into the specs: It's got a 7/32 radius profile, a 3/8 inch square shank that fits standard tool holders, and an overall length of 2-1/2 inches. The business end is solid carbide tipped, which means it stays sharp and cuts cleanly. The steel shank has a zinc coating to fight off rust and corrosion - super helpful in a busy shop environment.
The cool part about this tool is the 5-degree tangential blend angles. In simple terms, this helps you get a really nice, burr-free finish on your parts, so you spend less time deburring and more time making chips. It's perfect for when you need a consistent, smooth radius without any sharp transitions.
Micro 100 makes these right here in the USA, and they're known for quality. Whether you're working on prototypes, one-off parts, or production runs, this forming tool gives you precision and reliability. It's available in standard fractional sizes, so you can easily replace worn tools or expand your capabilities. Just mount it in your lathe's tool post, set your speeds and feeds, and you're ready to form some perfect radii. A must-have for any serious metalworking toolkit!
