Description

Carmex Carbide Tiny Tool is a precision solid carbide bar designed for deep face grooving on small-diameter workpieces. It’s built for machinists, toolmakers, and job shops that demand dependable, repeatable grooves with tight tolerances. The compact form packs a lot of capability into tight spaces, making it ideal for automated setups and manual finesse alike.

Featuring MVL BMK Grade, this tool delivers a 12 mm minimum diameter, a 2.5 mm groove width, and a 22 mm groove depth, enabling deep, clean grooves in a single pass. BMK is a sub‑micron grade with advanced PVD triple coating, offering extremely high heat resistance and smooth cutting across a wide range of materials. It’s a general‑purpose option designed to maintain performance under demanding cutting conditions, including stainless steels.

  • BMK Grade with advanced PVD triple coating: Sub-micron carbide with triple coating provides excellent heat resistance and smooth cutting, extending tool life and delivering consistent results across materials such as stainless steel.
  • Deep face grooving geometry: Specifically engineered for deep grooves, with a 12 mm minimum diameter, 2.5 mm groove width, and 22 mm groove depth to achieve precise, clean grooves in one setup.
  • Rigid carbide construction for durability: Solid carbide body resists deflection and heat buildup, delivering stable cuts, reduced downtime, and repeatable performance in demanding shop environments.

This tool helps you streamline grooving operations by delivering accurate, repeatable grooves with fewer passes, reducing wear and downtime. The combination of BMK coating and rigid carbide design supports reliable performance across common materials, enabling improved surface finish, tighter tolerances, and more predictable maintenance intervals for your manufacturing workflow.
