Magnum C8 C6 Carbide Tipped Lathe Tool Bit (CIT14)

Delivers high-precision cutting performance on steel and cast iron during metal lathe operations. The Magnum CIT14 (KMS SKU: MAG-CIT14) utilizes a durable carbide tip that maintains a sharp edge far longer than standard high-speed steel. It is built to withstand the high temperatures generated during heavy stock removal.

• C6/C8 Carbide Grade - Provides the hardness required for turning, facing, and boring tough alloys.
• Brazed Construction - Ensures a rock-solid bond between the carbide tip and the steel shank for vibration-free cutting.
• Precision Ground - Features a ready-to-use edge that produces clean surface finishes with minimal chatter.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I resharpen this carbide tip? A: Yes, but you must use a silicon carbide "green" wheel or a diamond wheel to sharpen carbide.

Q: Is this suitable for aluminum? A: While it works, it is optimized for harder metals like steel and iron where heat resistance is critical.
