Description

The Carmex Carbide Tiny Tool is a solid carbide bar engineered for precise face grooving with an integrated chip breaker. It’s designed to deliver straight grooves with clean finishes, making it a reliable choice for production shops, engineers, and hobbyists who demand consistent depth control and dependable results on a range of materials, including stainless steels. This tool is compact yet rugged, built to fit standard setups while delivering steady performance across multiple applications.

Available in two high-performance coatings, the Tiny Tool covers a broad spectrum of cutting needs. The BXC grade features a PVD TiN coating optimized for low cutting speeds and stainless steels (ISO P30-P50 / K25-K40), providing steady wear resistance. The BMK grade uses a sub-micron structure with a triple PVD coating for maximum heat resistance and exceptionally smooth cutting (ISO K10-K20), offering superior performance in tougher jobs. The tool is specified at a 6 mm minimum diameter with a 2 mm groove width for precise, repeatable grooves.

  • Precision straight-groove geometry with chip breaker: engineered to produce uniform, straight grooves with predictable chip flow, reducing burrs and rework for a smoother finish.
  • Two optimized coating grades for broad material compatibility: BXC with TiN coating supports low-speed stainless-steel work; BMK with triple PVD coatings delivers high heat resistance and a smoother cut across a wider range of materials.
  • Rugged carbide design with exact sizing: solid carbide construction in a 6 mm minimum diameter and 2 mm groove width ensures reliable performance, long tool life, and compatibility with common tooling setups in demanding applications.

This Tiny Tool helps you complete grooving tasks with confidence, delivering consistent groove depth and quality while minimizing downtime. Its durable coating options and precise geometry translate to longer tool life, fewer insert changes, and reliable results across materials, making it a practical, high-value choice for production environments and skilled workshops alike.
