Carmex Carbide Tiny Tool - Face Grooving with Chip Breaker - MFL-C - BXC Grade - 8mm Minimum Diameter x 2mm Groove Width (Left Hand)

The Carmex Carbide Tiny Tool – Face Grooving with Chip Breaker is a precision solid carbide bar engineered specifically for face grooving tasks. Designed for machinists, engineers, and hobbyists, it creates straight grooves with an integrated chip breaker to help deliver clean, repeatable slots. This left-hand tool features an 8 mm minimum diameter and a 2 mm groove width, making it a practical choice for common grooving setups.

The BXC grade uses a PVD TiN coating optimized for low cutting speeds and shows strong performance with a wide range of stainless steels. It is designed to work well across ISO speed ranges P30–P50 and K25–K40, delivering reliable results in everyday metalworking tasks.

• Straight-groove geometry with chip breaker: Delivers straight grooves with consistent depth and clean surfaces, aided by a dedicated chip breaker that improves chip control and reduces recutting.
• Coated for stainless steel at low speeds: BXC-grade PVD TiN coating enables reliable, steady performance on a wide range of stainless steels at lower cutting speeds, helping extend tool life.
• Solid carbide construction for durability: Built from high-quality carbide to resist wear, maintain rigidity, and provide smooth cutting action in face grooving applications.

With its optimized geometry, coating, and carbide construction, this Tiny Tool helps you achieve faster setups, fewer rework steps, and consistent groove quality. The left-hand orientation and precise 8 mm by 2 mm dimensions fit standard grooving setups, while the chip breaker keeps chips under control for smoother cutting and longer tool life. Designed for reliability across a range of materials and demanding jobs, it’s a dependable choice for professional shops and serious hobbyists alike.
