Description

The Carmex Carbide Tiny Tool is a compact solid carbide bar designed for full-radius grooving and general turning tasks. It's an ideal choice for engineers, machinists, and hobbyists who need precise, repeatable grooves in tight spaces. With a 6.1 mm minimum diameter, 2 mm groove width, and a 15 mm reach, this tool delivers access to tight radii without sacrificing turning efficiency.

The MKR line offers two coated grades to match different cutting conditions. The BXC Grade uses a PVD TiN coating optimized for lower cutting speeds and handles a wide range of stainless steels (ISO P30-P50 / K25-K40). The BMK Grade employs a sub-micron substrate with a triple PVD coating, delivering exceptional heat resistance and smooth cutting for general-purpose turning across materials.

  • Two optimized coating grades: BXC for low-speed cuts and stainless steels; BMK for high heat resistance and smooth cutting across a broad range of materials.
  • Full-radius grooving precision: Engineered geometry supports clean, repeatable full-radius grooves with a 6.1 mm minimum diameter, 2 mm groove width, and 15 mm reach.
  • Durable carbide with advanced coatings: Solid carbide base with PVD coatings provides long tool life, smooth cutting, and reliable performance in demanding turning operations.

By choosing the Carmex Carbide Tiny Tool, you gain a reliable, versatile grooving solution that reduces setup time, minimizes chatter, and delivers consistent radii and finish. The dual-grade system lets you optimize for material and speed, while the compact reach helps you access constrained features without swapping tools. Whether you’re working with stainless steels or performing general turning across common materials, this tool supports faster workflows and repeatable, high-quality results.
