Carmex Carbide Tiny Tool - Face Grooving - MFR - BXC Grade - 5mm Minimum Diameter x 1.5mm Groove Width

Carmex Carbide Tiny Tool - Face Grooving is a solid carbide bar designed specifically for precision face grooving. It’s built to produce clean, straight grooves with a consistent width, making it a reliable choice for engineers, machinists, and hobbyists who demand predictable groove geometry on stainless steels and a wide range of materials. With a 5 mm minimum diameter and a 1.5 mm groove width, this tool fits tight tolerances and compact setups.

Two coating grades from the Tiny Tools family give you flexible performance for different cutting conditions. The BXC grade uses a PVD TiN coating optimized for low cutting speeds and stainless steels (ISO P30–P50 / K25–K40), delivering steady wear resistance at lighter feeds. The BMK grade features a sub-micron carbide with an advanced triple PVD coating, offering excellent heat resistance and smoother cutting, making it a strong general‑purpose option across materials.

• Straight Groove Geometry for Predictable Results: Engineered to generate straight grooves, reducing finishing steps and producing consistent depths and widths for high-precision parts.
• Two Coating Grades for Versatility: Choose BXC TiN for efficient low-speed cutting on stainless steel, or BMK’s triple-coated sub-micron carbide for high heat tolerance and smooth cutting across a broad material range.
• Rugged Solid Carbide Construction: Built for durability and long tool life in demanding groove operations, with a compact 5 mm minimum diameter and 1.5 mm groove width that fit common setups.

This tool helps you streamline your groove process, delivering reliable, repeatable results that improve workflow and part quality. By matching the right coating grade to your material and cutting conditions, you can reduce tool changes, minimize chatter, and achieve consistent groove geometry across stainless steels and other materials.
