The Carmex Carbide Tiny Tool is a precision solid carbide grooving tool designed for full-radius grooves in tight spaces. With a 5.1 mm minimum diameter and 1 mm groove width, and a 15 mm reach for left-hand setups, it’s also suitable for general turning tasks to maximize versatility.

This tool line offers two coating grades to match your material and speed: BXC TiN-coated for low cutting speeds on stainless steels (ISO P30–P50 / K25–K40) and BMK with a sub-micron substrate and triple PVD coating for high heat resistance and smooth cutting across a wide range of materials.

  • Full-radius grooving precision: Delivers consistent groove geometry with smooth walls for tight, repeatable results in small-diameter parts.
  • Two coated carbide grades for versatile performance: BXC TiN-coated grade provides efficient cutting at low speeds on stainless steels (ISO P30–P50 / K25–K40); BMK grade offers sub-micron quality with triple PVD coating for high heat resistance and smoother cuts across a broad material range.
  • Compact reach, left-hand geometry: 15 mm reach with a 5.1 mm minimum diameter and 1 mm groove width enables access to tight grooves and pockets while maintaining rigidity for turning and grooving tasks.

The Carmex Tiny Tool delivers reliable, durable performance across grooving and turning tasks. The carbide substrate, combined with advanced coatings, provides longer tool life, reduces downtime, and enables consistent groove quality even on challenging stainless steels. Its compact geometry and 15 mm reach simplify setups and improve workflow, helping you achieve precise grooves and smoother finishes with fewer passes.
