Magnum BR10 Right Hand C6 Carbide Tipped Lathe Tool Bit 5/8 Inch Shank (BR10)
Eliminate the rapid edge degradation common in high-carbon steel turning with an industrial-grade C6 carbide tip. This right-hand oriented bit is engineered for consistent material removal in steel and alloyed metals, providing the thermal stability required for high-speed lathe operations. The brazed construction ensures a high-strength bond between the carbide tip and the tool shank for aggressive machining.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the maximum temperature this C6 carbide can handle? A: C6 carbide maintains its hardness even at red-heat temperatures, far exceeding the limits of high-speed steel (HSS).
Q: Can I use this for machining cast iron? A: While it will cut cast iron, C2 grade carbide is usually preferred for non-ferrous and cast metals to avoid chipping.
