APEXX Micro Incremental Bit – 8 mm, Reverse M12 Thread
APEXX Micro Incremental Bit – 8 mm, Reverse M12 Thread
The APEXX Micro Incremental Bit is an 8 mm diameter incremental cutting tip used for sink cut-outs and engraving into stone, with a 20 mm diamond height and a Reverse M12 thread. Ocean Diamond specifies wet use only, publishes an 8,000 to 10,000 RPM range and a 1/32 in. stock removal, and describes the soft bond as good for all stones with fast speed and long life. It is designed for sink cut-outs and for engraving into stone.
The micro tip is the small-diameter, multi-stone size — it is not the 20 mm tip, and the 20 mm color key does not apply to it. Where the work needs a tip bonded to a specific material class, use the 20 mm APEXX incremental tips: blue or green for engineered stone and granite, red for ultra-compact.
