Description

Carmex Carbide Tiny Tool - Face Grooving - MFL - Grade BXC is a solid carbide bar purpose-built for face grooving applications. As part of the Tiny Tools family, it’s designed to cut straight grooves with a clean, perpendicular edge for precise fits and reliable seating on small-diameter workpieces. It delivers straight grooves, unlike MZR/L bars that produce rounded grooves, enabling consistent results across production runs.

  • Straight-groove geometry for precise seating: Delivers clean, straight grooves with consistent width, improving part fit and finish compared with rounded grooves from other bar types.
  • Grade BXC carbide durability: Engineered wear resistance and rigidity translate into longer tool life and reliable cuts in a range of materials.
  • Optimized size for small-diameter parts: With a 6 mm minimum diameter and 1 mm groove width, this Tiny Tool maintains precise groove control on compact workpieces and fits common setups.

This combination of precise geometry, rugged carbide, and purpose-built size helps streamline groove production, reduce rework, and deliver consistent results across shifts. Whether prototyping small parts or running routine batches, this Tiny Tool is designed to perform reliably, so you can complete projects with confidence.
