Mini Engraving Cutter 1.6mm Rev. Taper 2.4mm Shank
Shape: 1.6mm Reverse Taper
Tip Diameter: Ø2.4mm
Shank Diameter: Ø2.4mm
This Mini Engraving Cutter is a specialized precision tool featuring a 1.6mm reverse taper head, also commonly known as an inverted cone. This unique geometry is wider at the tip than at the base, making it the premier choice for creating crisp, flat-bottomed grooves and sharp internal undercuts. Unlike standard ball or cylindrical bits, the reverse taper allows for distinct architectural control, perfect for cleaning up edges or creating recessed seats for inlay work.
The 1.6mm head diameter offers an ideal middle ground for detailers, providing enough surface area for efficient material removal while remaining small enough for intricate patterns. It is particularly effective for "seating" small stones in jewelry making or for carving geometric designs into hardwoods, plastics, and soft metals. The flat face of the cutter ensures that the bottom of your engraved lines remains perfectly level, adding a professional, polished look to any project.
For maximum stability and performance, this cutter is built on a 2.4mm shank. This robust shank size is the industry standard for high-speed rotary tools and professional engraving handpieces, ensuring a secure, concentric fit. By providing a solid foundation for the 1.6mm head, the shank helps to dampen vibrations and reduce "chatter," allowing you to maintain a steady hand during delicate maneuvers or high-RPM tasks.
Crafted from high-quality materials designed for longevity, this mini reverse taper cutter maintains its sharp profile even through repetitive use on tough surfaces. It is an essential addition to the toolkit of any jeweler, model maker, or fine woodworker who requires precision undercutting and clean, flat-bottomed etching. Whether you are refining a custom casting or adding texture to a miniature, this tool provides the reliability and specialized shape needed for superior results.

The shank is securely locked in place by fitting it in the corresponding collet or making use of a keyless chuck.
Rotation speed:
Most rotary tools have the benefit to adjust the rotation speed. Many tool bits that fit in rotary tools have a maximum speed setting. This can normally be found on the packaging.
All materials react differently to speed and will need the tool bit to rotate slower. It is recommended to start using accessories on the slower speed first, before increasing the speed as needed.
The diameter of the tool bit fitted also determines the rotation speed. The larger the diameter, the slower the speed. If the speed is set too high, it could bend the shank/shaft resulting in injury.
