Introducing the Carmex Carbide Tiny Tool configured for full-radius grooving and general turning. This compact solid carbide tool is built for tight workpieces and precise grooves, making it ideal for engineers, machinists, buyers, and hobbyists who need reliable, repeatable results in small-diameter applications. Its left-hand geometry and concise reach are designed to fit into cramped setups without compromising cutting performance.

Designed to handle full-radius grooves with a 5.1 mm minimum diameter and a 2 mm groove width, it offers a practical 15 mm reach for reach-limited operations. The tool line includes two coating grades to cover diverse material needs: BXC, a PVD TiN-coated option optimized for low-speed cuts and stainless steels (ISO P30-P50 / K25-K40), and BMK, a sub-micron grade with a triple PVD coating that delivers high heat resistance and smooth cutting. This makes it a versatile choice for demanding materials and general-purpose turning alike.

  • Full-Radius Grooving Capability: Specifically designed to produce precise full-radius grooves, reducing finishing passes and improving seating accuracy on small-diameter parts.
  • Dual-Grade Coatings for Versatility: Choose BXC TiN for reliable performance at low speeds on stainless steels, or BMK for high heat resistance and smooth cutting across a wide range of materials.
  • Compact, Reach-Optimized Design: With a 5.1 mm minimum diameter, 2 mm groove width, and a 15 mm reach in a left-hand configuration, it fits into tight pockets and hard-to-reach grooves while maintaining stable engagement.

The Carmex Tiny Tool blends precision geometry with coating technology to deliver consistent results, even on challenging materials. Its robust carbide core, paired with carefully selected coatings, supports longer tool life, fewer tool changes, and dependable performance across stainless steels and other alloys. Use it for accurate grooving in tight spaces or as a reliable general-purpose turning tool that keeps workflows moving and finish quality high.
