Description

Carmex Carbide Tiny Tool – Deep Face Grooving is a rugged solid carbide tool designed for deep face grooving tasks. It’s built for engineers, buyers, tradespeople, and hobbyists who need reliable, precise grooves on stainless steels and a wide range of other materials. The MVL line emphasizes consistent cutting performance and long tool life.

This compact tool features a 10 mm minimum diameter, 3 mm groove width, and 22 mm groove depth. It is available in two coated grades to match your material and speed: BXC TiN-coated for low cutting speeds, and BMK with a sub-micron grade and advanced PVD triple coating for high heat resistance and smoother cuts. BXC excels with stainless steels (ISO P30-P50 / K25-K40), while BMK provides a robust, general-purpose option across materials.

  • Coated carbide options for versatile materials: Choose BXC TiN-coated grade for low-speed stainless-steel grooving or BMK’s sub-micron, triple-coated grade for high-heat, all-material performance, delivering reliable cutting across a broad range of applications.
  • Deep-face grooving geometry: Engineered to produce accurate, repeatable deep grooves with a 10 mm minimum diameter, 3 mm groove width, and 22 mm groove depth, helping you hit precise tolerances consistently.
  • Rugged carbide construction: Solid carbide bars built specifically for deep grooving deliver durability, heat resistance, and smooth cutting operation in demanding environments.

Using the Carmex Carbide Tiny Tool for deep face grooving translates to steadier tooling performance, predictable results, and a smoother workflow. The dual coating options let you tailor performance to your material and cutting conditions—BXC for stainless steels at lower speeds and BMK for broader material coverage and higher heat tolerance. With its precise geometry and durable carbide design, this tool supports reliable results across production runs, prototyping, and repair work without frequent tool changes or rework.
