Micro Machining Tools
Below one millimetre, runout matters more than geometry. These tools are ground on the machine that measures them, and every batch ships with its measured cutting diameter recorded.

- Stainless steel
- Cast iron
- Non-ferrous
- Superalloys & titanium
- Hardened materials
Why this range
- Ø0.1 – 3 mm on sub-micron substrate
- Measured diameter on every batch certificate
- Neck reliefs for deep cavity access
