The Carmex Carbide Tiny Tool is a compact, solid carbide bar designed specifically for full-radius grooving in tight spaces, with the added versatility of general turning tasks. Its geometry is tailored for small-diameter workpieces, featuring a 5.1 mm minimum diameter and a 2 mm groove width, with a 15 mm reach in a left-hand configuration to suit precise setups and steady chip flow.

  • Full-radius grooving capability in a compact form: Delivers accurate, consistent full-radius grooves on small-diameter parts while also handling routine turning, helping you minimize finishing steps and achieve reliable profiles.
  • Two coating options for versatile material handling: BXC TiN-coated grade excels at low cutting speeds with stainless steels (ISO P30-P50 / K25-K40), while BMK’s sub-micron, triple-coated construction offers exceptional heat resistance and smooth cutting across a broader material range, extending tool life and reducing downtime.
  • Optimized geometry for tight pockets and reliable setup: 5.1 mm minimum diameter, 2 mm groove width, 15 mm reach, and left-hand orientation provide stable performance in restricted spaces and predictable results in both grooving and turning operations.

This tool combines a robust carbide core with purpose-built coatings and compact geometry to support consistent groove quality, longer tool life, and efficient workflows. The dual-grade coating system lets you tailor performance to the job—from delicate finishing in stainless steels to demanding grooving on challenging materials—so you can complete projects with confidence and minimize tool changes across sequences.
