Description

Carmex Carbide Tiny Tool – Boring Bar, MTL, is a compact solid carbide bar designed for precision in tight bores and general turning tasks. With a 6.1 mm minimum diameter, 22 mm reach, and a left-hand cutting geometry featuring an R0.2 nose radius, it delivers stable, clean cuts in small holes while maintaining strong rigidity for dependable performance.

This tool family offers flexible coating options to match your material and speed needs. The BXC option uses a PVD TiN coating optimized for low cutting speeds and works well with a wide range of stainless steels (ISO P30-P50 / K25-K40). Alternatively, the BMK option provides a sub-micron grade with advanced PVD triple coating for extremely high heat resistance and smooth cutting, suitable as a general-purpose choice for all materials.

  • Coating options for versatile performance: Choose BXC TiN for low-speed cuts on stainless steels or BMK’s triple-coated, high-heat-ready design for broader material compatibility and smoother cutting.
  • Compact geometry for tight borings: 6.1 mm minimum diameter, 22 mm reach, and left-hand R0.2 nose radius to access deep, precise holes with solid rigidity.
  • Designed for boring with general turning capability: Primed for boring but capable of general turning, reducing tool changes and expanding workflow flexibility across materials.

Whether you’re machining tight bores or performing routine turning tasks, the Carmex Tiny Tool delivers reliable, consistent performance with tool-life durability. The left-hand R0.2 geometry and chosen coating approach help maximize cutting efficiency, minimize downtime, and produce accurate hole finishes across a range of materials.
