Description

The Carmex Carbide Tiny Tool is a compact solid carbide tool designed for full-radius grooving and reliable general turning on small-diameter workpieces. With a 5.1 mm minimum diameter, 2 mm groove width, and a 15 mm reach, it delivers precise grooves in tight spaces while remaining versatile for a range of turning tasks. This tool is offered in MKR and BMK grade formats to suit different cutting needs and materials.

  • Full-radius grooving design: Achieve clean, consistent grooves with a smooth wall finish and minimal finishing passes, even on small-diameter parts.
  • BXC TiN coated MKR grade for low-speed stainless steel work: Optimized for low cutting speeds to extend edge life and reduce wear when machining stainless steels (ISO P30-P50 / K25-K40).
  • BMK grade with advanced triple PVD coating: Sub-micron, high-heat-resistant formulation delivers smooth cutting and reliable performance across a wide range of materials.

This tiny carbide tool helps you streamline setups, improve groove accuracy, and maintain consistent results across batches. Its robust coatings and two-grade options provide dependable performance from the first cut to the final pass, making it a trusted choice for engineers, machinists, and hobbyists working on detailed turning projects.
