About MICRO

Micro 100 is a manufacturer of precision cutting tools for metalworking, with a product line that includes brazed-tip lathe tool bits, boring bars, and toolholders. The brand is known for its single-point tool bits, which are used in turning, facing, and boring operations on manual and CNC lathes. These tools typically feature a carbide cutting edge brazed to a steel shank, and many models have a zinc coating on the shank for corrosion resistance. The tool bits are available in various styles, such as AR, AL, BR, BL, C, D, E, and GR, each with specific geometries for different machining applications. Shank dimensions vary, with common sizes including 3/8 in height and width, and some models offering wider shanks for increased rigidity. The carbide tips are ground to provide specific rake angles and corner radii, which affect cutting action and chip evacuation. Micro 100 tool bits are used in general metalworking, including turning, facing, and boring on materials such as steel, aluminum, and cast iron. 3G Electric supplies Micro 100 cutting tools as part of its industrial equipment portfolio, offering access to a range of SKUs and configurations. The product line includes brazed-tip lathe tool bits with various tool bit styles, such as AR, AL, BR, BL, C, D, E, and GR, each designed for specific machining tasks. For example, the AR style features a corner radius profile and is ground with side rake for positive cutting action and better chip evacuation. The BR style has a side cutting edge angle that allows for higher feed rates. The C style is a general-purpose tool bit, while the D style is a multi-functional tool. The E style is another variation, and the GR style has a 3/8 in shank height and 3/4 in shank width, providing additional stability. These tool bits are constructed from carbide and zinc, with the carbide providing the cutting edge and the zinc coating on the shank offering durability and corrosion resistance. The shank sizes are standardized, with many models having a 3/8 in shank height and width, making them compatible with common toolholders. 3G Electric supports the Micro 100 line by stocking a variety of these tool bits and providing specification details to help buyers select the appropriate tool for their machining operations. The company serves a global customer base, including plant engineers, maintenance managers, and procurement specialists who require reliable cutting tools for metalworking applications. Micro 100 tool bits are suitable for use in manual and CNC lathes, and they are often used in job shops, maintenance departments, and production environments where precision and repeatability are important. The carbide tips are designed to withstand the demands of machining operations, and the brazed construction allows for a strong bond between the tip and shank. The zinc coating on the shank helps prevent corrosion, extending the tool life. 3G Electric provides these tools as part of its broader offering of industrial equipment, which includes burners, pumps, gas controls, and related components. By supplying Micro 100 cutting tools, 3G Electric addresses the needs of customers involved in machining and metalworking, complementing its other product lines. The availability of multiple tool bit styles and sizes allows users to match the tool to the specific operation, whether it is turning, facing, or boring. The product data includes UNSPSC codes and MPNs, facilitating procurement and inventory management. 3G Electric's role is to distribute these tools and provide technical information to support selection and application. The company does not manufacture Micro 100 tools but serves as a channel for customers to purchase them. The focus is on providing accurate specifications and availability to help buyers make informed decisions. Micro 100 tool bits are used in a variety of industries, including automotive, aerospace, and general manufacturing, wherever metal cutting is performed. The tools are consumables, and users may require replacements or additional sizes as their operations evolve. 3G Electric aims to meet these needs by maintaining a selection of Micro 100 products and offering support for order fulfillment. The product line includes both standard and specialized tool bits, and 3G Electric can assist with identifying the correct part numbers and specifications. The information provided is based on publicly available product data and is intended to help customers understand the features and applications of Micro 100 cutting tools.
