The ones our customers buy most.Description
The Carmex Carbide Tiny Tool is a compact solid carbide boring bar designed for micro-machining. With a minimum diameter of 1.2 mm and a 7 mm reach, it excels at creating precise internal features in small-diameter parts. It’s ideal for engineers, machinists, and hobbyists who work in tight spaces and need dependable results in boring and fine turning.
As part of Carmex’s dedicated carbide tool line, this tiny bar supports two coating grades to match your material and speed needs. Choose BXC TiN-coated grade for low-speed cutting on stainless steels (ISO ranges P30–P50 / K25–K40), or use the BMK sub-micron grade with advanced PVD triple coating for high heat resistance and smooth cutting (ISO K10–K20). Available in MTL - K20 grade, it’s designed for demanding tasks while remaining versatile enough for general-purpose boring and turning across a broad materials range.
- Ultra-precise tiny boring capability: 1.2 mm minimum diameter with a 7 mm reach enables accurate internal bores and fine turning in small-diameter parts, minimizing setup changes and preserving workpiece integrity.
- Dual coating options for durability and versatility: BXC TiN coating delivers reliable performance at lower speeds on stainless steels; BMK with sub-micron, triple PVD coating provides exceptional heat resistance and smooth cutting across a wide material range, including general-purpose use.
- Left-hand, R0 nose geometry: Specialized for left-handed cutting, this tool geometry supports stable entry and clean finishes in tight bore operations with minimal deflection.
This tiny boring bar helps streamline workflows by pairing precise micro-machining capability with coating-driven durability. It supports faster setup, consistent hole quality, and reliable performance across materials, making it a practical choice for shops that demand precise internal features and versatile turning capability in a single, compact tool.
