Carmex Carbide Tiny Tool - Full Radius Grooving - MKL - BXC Grade - 7.1mm Minimum Diameter x 2mm Groove Width - 22mm Reach (Left Hand)

The Carmex Carbide Tiny Tool is a compact, solid carbide tool designed for precise full-radius grooving in tight turning setups. Its small footprint and rugged carbide construction make it ideal for parts where space is limited and precision matters, while still serving as a dependable general-turning tool when grooves aren’t required.

This tool is available in two coated carbide grades to cover a wide range of materials and speeds. BXC is a PVD TiN-coated grade optimized for low cutting speeds and stainless steels (ISO P30-P50 / K25-K40). BMK is a sub-micron grade with advanced PVD triple coating, offering extremely high heat resistance and smooth cutting for broad material compatibility (ISO K10-K20). The geometry supports a 7.1 mm minimum diameter, 2 mm groove width, and a 22 mm reach in a left-hand orientation, enabling deep grooves in confined spaces.

• Full-radius grooving precision: Delivers clean, consistent full-radius grooves in a single pass, reducing finishing steps and improving wall quality on small parts.
• Two coated carbide grades for versatile material support: Choose BXC for stainless steels and low-speed cutting, or BMK for high-heat, broad-material performance, thanks to PVD coatings that extend edge life.
• Optimized geometry for tight spaces and deep reach: Left-hand design with 22 mm reach, 7.1 mm minimum diameter, and 2 mm groove width to access deep grooves while maintaining rigidity in crowded setups.

Together, these features help you complete grooves with reliability and consistency, reduce downtime, and achieve smooth finishes across a range of materials. The two-grade option lets you tailor tooling to stainless steel or mixed-material applications, delivering dependable performance and longer tool life in everyday turning tasks.
