The Carmex Carbide Tiny Tool is a compact, solid carbide bar designed for precise full-radius grooving in turning applications. It delivers clean, repeatable grooves with a minimum bore diameter of 5.1 mm and a groove width of 1 mm, extending up to a 15 mm reach. Built for reliability, it’s an ideal choice for engineers, machinists, and hobbyists who need accurate radii in tight spaces and versatile turning capability.

Available in two coating grades for different materials and speeds, the MKR K20 carbide tool offers flexibility to optimize performance across tasking jobs. BXC is a PVD TiN-coated grade engineered for low cutting speeds and broad stainless-steel compatibility (ISO P30-P50 / K25-K40), providing smoother cuts and longer tool life. BMK is a sub-micron grade with advanced PVD triple coating, delivering exceptional heat resistance for demanding materials and a smooth, consistent cutting experience (ISO K10-K20). This combination lets you match the tool to your material and process without swapping hardware.

  • Full-radius grooving precision: Designed to produce accurate, repeatable full-radius grooves with a 5.1 mm minimum diameter and 1 mm groove width, reached out to 15 mm for deep or recessed features.
  • Dual coating options for durability and efficiency: Choose BXC TiN for low-speed cuts on stainless steels or BMK’s high-heat, triple-coated performance for a wider material range and smoother cuts.
  • Solid carbide construction and general turning versatility: Rugged, wear-resistant bar optimized for grooving and general turning across materials, helping reduce tool changes and downtime.

This tool provides reliable, consistent results across a variety of materials and applications, helping you finish parts faster with fewer reworks. The combination of precise geometry, reinforced by durable coatings and solid carbide rigidity, gives you confidence in every cut—from tight-radius grooves to routine turning tasks—making it a dependable addition to any machining setup.
