Description

The Carmex Carbide Tiny Tool is a precision face-grooving tool designed for engineers, machinists, and fabricators who need clean, straight grooves with repeatable results. Part of the Tiny Tools family, these solid carbide bars are engineered specifically for face grooving, delivering straight grooves with consistent width in a compact form. The tool suits groove pockets with a minimum diameter of 10 mm and a groove width of 3.0 mm, making it a reliable choice for standard workholding setups.

  • Straight-groove geometry for precision finishes: Produces true straight grooves with clean sidewalls and consistent width, ensuring repeatable, high-precision results across multiple parts.
  • Two advanced carbide grades with coatings: BXC (PVD TiN-coated) for effective performance at low cutting speeds on stainless steels (ISO P30-P50 / K25-K40); BMK (sub-micron, triple PVD coating) delivers exceptional heat resistance and smooth cutting for general-purpose use across materials.
  • Designed for reliability and broad material reach: Built to handle a wide range of materials, including stainless steels, with stable cutting action and durable coatings that help minimize tool changes and maintain consistent quality.

These features translate to a practical, on-the-shop-floor tool that helps you finish grooves with confidence. The straight-groove design reduces rework, the dual-grade coatings expand material compatibility, and the high-heat resistance of the BMK option supports longer tool life in demanding jobs. Together, they enable smoother setups, faster cycle times, and reliable results across a broad range of projects.
