Carmex Carbide Tiny Tool – Face Grooving (MFR - BXC Grade) is a precision solid carbide bar designed specifically for face grooving tasks. It creates straight grooves with repeatable geometry, making it a dependable choice for machinists, engineers, and hobbyists working with stainless steels and other materials.
With a 5 mm minimum diameter and a 1.5 mm groove width, this Tiny Tools bar provides a compact, stable cutting edge for reliable groove formation. The BXC Grade features a PVD TiN coating optimized for low cutting speeds, delivering consistent performance on a wide range of stainless steels (ISO P30-P50 / K25-K40). For those tackling tougher materials or higher-heat applications, the Tiny Tools family also includes the BMK sub-micron grade with advanced PVD triple coating for maximum heat resistance and smooth cutting. General-purpose capability across materials is part of the broader Tiny Tools lineup.
- Straight-groove precision: Delivers straight grooves with repeatable geometry for clean faces and consistent groove width, avoiding rounded profiles.
- PVD TiN-coated BXC grade for stainless steels: Optimized for low cutting speeds, reducing wear and edge chipping while delivering reliable grooves on a wide range of stainless steels (ISO P30-P50 / K25-K40).
- Coated carbide for long tool life: The protective coatings enhance durability and smooth cutting, helping maintain groove geometry across production runs; for tougher jobs, the BMK sub-micron grade offers even higher heat resistance and broad material compatibility.
With its 5 mm diameter and 1.5 mm groove width, this tool supports predictable groove geometry and minimizes setup time. The BXC TiN coating helps sustain edge quality at low speeds, while the robust carbide substrate resists wear, contributing to longer tool life and fewer changes. Whether you’re performing routine face grooves or tackling demanding stainless steel components, this Tiny Tool helps you finish duties quickly and accurately, improving workflow and delivering consistent results across projects.
