Carmex Carbide Tiny Tool is a compact solid carbide bar engineered for full-radius grooving in tight spaces, with a precise 15 mm reach and a 5.1 mm minimum diameter. Designed for left-hand operations, it also performs well on general turning tasks, making it a versatile choice for small-feature work across production and prototyping environments.

This tool line offers two advanced coating options to suit different materials and speeds: BXC PVD TiN coating optimized for low cutting speeds and a broad range of stainless steels (ISO P30-P50 / K25-K40), and BMK sub-micron grade with an advanced PVD triple coating for exceptional heat resistance and smooth cutting (ISO K10-K20). Together, they provide reliable performance across a wide array of materials and applications.

  • Full-radius grooving plus general turning capability: Built to consistently cut full-radius grooves while also handling general turning, delivering accurate profiles and steady tool life in a single, versatile tool.
  • Two advanced coatings for versatility and durability: BXC TiN coating supports low-speed grooving in stainless steels for predictable, controlled cuts; BMK triple-coated substrate offers superior heat tolerance and a smooth cutting experience for demanding materials and conditions.
  • Compact, precise geometry for tight work: 5.1 mm minimum diameter, 1 mm groove width, and 15 mm reach in a left-hand configuration—designed to fit tight pockets and deliver repeatable grooves with minimal setup.

This combination helps you achieve consistent groove quality, reduces tool changes and setup time, and improves overall workflow by supporting reliable performance across materials. Whether you're tackling delicate grooves or tougher turning tasks, the Carmex Tiny Tool is a dependable choice for precise, repeatable results.
