Description

The Carmex Carbide Tiny Tool is a solid carbide bar engineered specifically for deep face grooving. It’s built for professionals and serious hobbyists who need precise grooves in tight spaces, especially when working with stainless steels. Key dimensions include a 12 mm minimum diameter, 2 mm groove width, and 15 mm groove depth, enabling compact, accurate grooves with reliable repeatability. Note: this product line does not include bars for left-hand operations.

To match different cutting conditions, this tool is offered with two coating options. BXC is a PVD TiN-coated grade designed for low cutting speeds and dependable performance on stainless steels (ISO P30-P50 / K25-K40). BMK is a sub-micron grade with an advanced PVD triple coating, providing extremely high heat resistance, smooth cutting, and broad applicability as a general-purpose solution for all materials.

  • Deep Grooving Geometry: Precisely engineered for deep face grooves with a 12 mm minimum diameter, 2 mm groove width, and 15 mm groove depth to deliver accurate results in tight spaces.
  • BXC PVD TiN Coating for Low-Speed Cutting: Enhances wear resistance and consistency at lower cutting speeds on stainless steels, helping extend tool life and maintain stable finishes.
  • BMK Sub-micron Grade with Triple Coating: Delivers exceptional heat resistance and smooth cutting, making it a robust, general-purpose option for a wide range of materials.

Used in the right-hand groove machining workflow, the Carmex Carbide Tiny Tool helps you achieve reliable, repeatable deep grooves with minimized downtime. Its specialized geometry and coating options support longer tool life, steadier feeds, and better surface finishes, improving overall productivity and quality across fabrication, engineering, and production environments.
