Description

The Carmex Carbide Tiny Tool (MDL) is a precision cutting tool designed for small-thread relief, chamfering, and grooving on miniature components. Its compact size makes it ideal for engineers, machinists, hobbyists, and technicians who need accurate cuts in tight spaces.

Featuring 4.1 mm minimum diameter, 0.8 mm reach, and R0.5 left-hand geometry in premium K20 carbide, this tool delivers dependable performance for delicate threads and edge-prep tasks with clean, repeatable results.

  • Ultra-precise thread relief for tiny parts: Delivers accurate relief and clean starting threads on small components, supporting tight tolerances and smoother mating fits in compact assemblies.
  • Premium K20 carbide for long tool life: Built from robust carbide to resist wear, ensuring consistent cuts over more cycles and reducing the need for frequent tool changes.
  • Compact design for chamfering and grooving in tight spaces: Small footprint and left-hand geometry enable precise chamfers and grooves on constrained parts without repositioning workholding.

This tiny tool helps you streamline your workflow by delivering repeatable, high-quality edges and threads on small parts. With dependable tool life and a compact form factor, you can reduce setup time, minimize scrap, and achieve better surface finishes across micro-machining tasks—whether you’re in a shop, a maker space, or a manufacturing line.
