The Carmex Carbide Tiny Tool is a compact, high-precision threading cutter designed for small parts and tight spaces. With a full profile UN 60° geometry and left-hand threading capability, it delivers accurate, repeatable threads where larger tools struggle to reach.

Its small footprint — 5 mm minimum diameter with an 18 mm reach — ensures compatibility with a wide range of machines and setups, making intricate threading tasks faster and more reliable.
- Compact 5 mm min diameter x 18 mm reach: Enables threading of tiny parts and operation in confined spaces, reducing setup time and increasing flexibility across projects.

- Carbide, BXC-grade construction: Provides outstanding hardness and wear resistance for longer tool life, fewer replacements, and reliable performance in demanding materials.
Whether you’re building precision assemblies, repairing small components, or prototyping micro-mechanisms, this tool helps you achieve clean, accurate threads with reduced downtime and improved overall productivity across your workflow.
