Carmex Carbide Tiny Tool - Face Grooving - MFR - BMK Grade - 6mm Minimum Diameter x 0.5mm Groove Width

The Carmex Carbide Tiny Tool for Face Grooving is a solid carbide bar designed for creating precise, straight grooves on the faces of small to mid-size parts. It delivers clean grooves with consistent geometry, helping seals and mating surfaces seat accurately. This BMK-grade option is specified for a 6 mm minimum diameter and a 0.5 mm groove width, ensuring predictable, repeatable results in production runs.

Two Tiny Tools coating options help match performance to your material and speed needs. The BXC grade uses a PVD TiN coating optimized for low cutting speeds and works well with a wide range of stainless steels (ISO P30-P50 / K25-K40). The BMK grade features a sub-micron structure with an advanced PVD triple coating (ISO K10-K20) for extremely high heat resistance and smooth cutting, delivering dependable, general-purpose performance across materials.

• Straight-groove geometry: Delivers true straight grooves with flat bottoms for reliable seating and a clean, consistent finish on every part.
• BMK-grade, triple-coated carbide: Sub-micron BMK with advanced PVD triple coating provides exceptional heat resistance and a smooth cut for long tool life across a wide range of materials.
• Optimized size (6 mm min diameter x 0.5 mm groove width): Precisely matched to common fixtures and workpieces, enabling quick setup and repeatable groove dimensions in production.

Using this tool helps you achieve consistent groove dimensions with minimal downtime, reduces rework from misgrooving, and maintains reliable performance across stainless steels and other standard materials. Its precise geometry and durable coatings support faster setups, cleaner finishes, and better part fit on every job.
