Description

The Carmex Carbide Tiny Tool is a compact, solid carbide tool designed for full-radius grooving and general turning. Its precise geometry and small form factor make it ideal for tight pockets and challenging radii in professional shops, engineering labs, or hobbyist setups. The MKR variant uses a K20-grade carbide with geometry optimized for full-radius grooves, featuring a 4.1 mm minimum diameter, 1 mm groove width, and a 10 mm reach to access deeper features.

This tool line offers two coating options to optimize performance across materials and speeds: BXC is a PVD TiN-coated grade engineered for low cutting speeds and works well with a wide range of stainless steels (ISO P30-P50 / K25-K40), while BMK is a sub-micron grade with advanced PVD triple coating for maximum heat resistance and smooth cutting (ISO K10-K20). Together, these coatings provide enhanced wear resistance, reliability, and flexible performance in demanding applications.

  • Full-radius grooving precision: Delivers clean, repeatable full-radius grooves with a 4.1 mm minimum diameter, 1 mm groove width, and 10 mm reach for deeper features in confined spaces.
  • Coating options for optimized performance: BXC (PVD TiN) extends tool life at low speeds on stainless steels; BMK (triple-coated sub-micron) delivers high heat resistance and smoother cutting for tougher materials.
  • General turning versatility and reliability: Beyond grooving, designed for reliable general turning work, helping you maintain dimensions and finish with fewer tool changes in mixed operations.

The Carmex Tiny Tool combines a robust carbide core with coatings that adapt to your material and cutting conditions, delivering predictable results in tight radii and everyday turning tasks. Its compact reach and proven geometry help you reduce setup time, minimize secondary operations, and achieve consistent finishes across stainless steels and other common materials. Trustworthy, repeatable performance in a small, easy-to-integrate tool that fits into your existing tooling setup.
