Carmex Carbide Tiny Tool - Face Grooving with Chip Breaker - MFL-C - BXC Grade - 8mm Minimum Diameter x 1.5mm Groove Width (Left Hand)

The Carmex Carbide Tiny Tool – Face Grooving with Chip Breaker (MFL-C) is a solid carbide tool bar engineered for left-hand face grooving. It delivers straight grooves with an integrated chip breaker for clean, repeatable results on metal workpieces. With an 8 mm minimum diameter and a 1.5 mm groove width, this bar is a compact, versatile choice for a wide range of groove applications.

From the Tiny Tools family, this tool offers two coating grades to match your cutting conditions: the BXC Grade with a PVD TiN coating optimized for low cutting speeds and broad stainless steel compatibility (ISO P30-P50 / K25-K40); and the BMK Grade, a sub-micron material with an advanced PVD triple coating for exceptional heat resistance and a smooth cutting experience. This combination provides flexible options for stainless steels and other materials, while maintaining reliable performance across a variety of projects.

• Straight grooves with chip breaker: Produces precise, straight face grooves with integrated chip control for cleaner finishes and reduced chatter.
• BXC Grade: TiN-coated for low-speed stainless grooving: PVD TiN coating enhances wear resistance at low speeds, extending tool life on a wide range of stainless steels (ISO P30-P50 / K25-K40).
• BMK Grade: Sub-micron with triple PVD coating for high heat resistance: Ultra-high heat tolerance and smooth cutting behavior, offering versatile performance across materials and demanding workloads.

This tool helps you streamline your workflow by delivering consistent groove geometry and reliable cutting performance. The left-hand orientation, combined with robust chip control and coating options, reduces setup adjustments and downtime, improves surface finish, and supports quicker, more predictable results across multiple materials.
