Magnum 1/2 Inch Square Shank Brazed Carbide Tipped Tool Bit (C8-C6)

Combat chatter during high-speed turning with the significant mass and rigidity of a 1/2" shank. This tool bit is designed for heavy-duty metal removal on larger lathes, where maximum tool post grip and minimal deflection are paramount. The C6 carbide grade maintains a sharp edge under intense friction, ensuring consistent surface finishes even when machining tough alloy steels.
