Description

Carmex Carbide Tiny Tool – Face Grooving with Chip Breaker (MFL-C, BMK Grade) is a purpose-built solid carbide bar designed specifically for face grooving tasks. It delivers straight grooves with clean bottoms and controlled chip flow, making it ideal for precise seating, reliable finishes, and repeatable results. This left-hand variant fits common turning setups and features a 6 mm minimum diameter with a 1.5 mm groove width to define the working envelope.

Built from the BMK Grade with a sub-micron structure and advanced PVD triple coating, this Tiny Tool delivers extremely high heat resistance for maximum performance and a smooth cutting action across a broad range of materials. It’s crafted as a general-purpose option that performs reliably on various metals, including stainless steels, helping you maintain steady productivity and consistent groove quality.

  • Straight groove geometry: Produces precise, straight grooves for flat-bottom finishes and accurate part seating, reducing post-processing and rework.
  • BMK Grade with triple PVD coating: Sub-micron BMK structure plus advanced coating delivers exceptional heat resistance and smooth cutting, extending tool life and improving surface finish.
  • Left-hand design with chip breaker: Optimized for left-hand machining setups and efficient chip control, helping manage chips for cleaner cuts and steady workflow.

This combination of straight-groove geometry, hardened BMK-grade durability, and deliberate left-hand/chip-breaker design translates to faster setups, fewer interruptions, and more consistent results across materials—making it a dependable choice for professional shops seeking reliable face grooving performance.
