Description

The Carmex Carbide Tiny Tool is a compact, solid carbide boring bar designed for precision in tight spaces. Ideal for engineers, machinists, tradespeople, and hobbyists, it handles small-diameter boring and general turning with reliable, consistent performance. Crafted from K20-grade carbide, it delivers stiffness and long tool life for demanding, repetitive tasks.

With a 2.5 mm minimum diameter, 10 mm reach, and left-hand R0 nose, this tiny tool fits into narrow bores and recesses where space is limited. Choose from coating options designed to suit different materials and cutting speeds: BXC TiN coated grade optimized for low cutting speeds and stainless steels (ISO P30-P50 / K25-K40); or BMK sub-micron grade with an advanced PVD triple coating for exceptional heat resistance and smooth cutting across a wide range of materials.

  • Ultra-compact boring capability: 2.5 mm minimum diameter, 10 mm reach, and left‑hand R0 nose enable precise holes in tight spaces with minimal tool deflection.
  • Coating versatility for material range: BXC TiN coating suits low-speed cutting on stainless steels (ISO P30-P50 / K25-K40); BMK triple PVD coating delivers high heat resistance for smooth cutting across many materials.
  • Durable carbide core for reliability: K20-grade solid carbide provides stiffness and wear resistance for long tool life and consistent finishes.

This tiny boring bar is designed to streamline your workflow: reach deep into confined features, maintain tight tolerances, and reduce tool changes thanks to its durable carbide construction and optimized coatings. Whether you’re benchmarking precision parts or performing routine maintenance machining, it helps you deliver clean, accurate results with fewer passes and less downtime.
