The Carmex Carbide Tiny Tool is a face grooving solid carbide bar designed for precision grooves in metalworking. Part of the Tiny Tools family, it’s specifically engineered to produce straight grooves for clean, flat faces. Sized for a 5 mm minimum diameter with a 1.5 mm groove width, this tool fits compact grooving tasks without compromising performance.

Two coating grades give you flexibility to match material, speed, and cutting conditions. BXC TiN-coated grade is optimized for low cutting speeds and works well with a wide range of stainless steels (ISO P30-P50 / K25-K40). BMK is a sub-micron grade with an advanced PVD triple coating, delivering extremely high heat resistance for maximum performance and smooth cutting, making it a solid general-purpose choice for all materials.

• Straight-groove geometry for clean faces: These solid carbide bars are engineered to produce straight grooves, delivering crisp, repeatable grooves and predictable seating with every pass.
• BXC TiN-coated grade for low-speed stainless work: Optimized for low cutting speeds and stainless steels, helping reduce wear and maintain consistent results on ISO P30-P50 / K25-K40 materials.
• BMK advanced PVD triple-coated grade for high heat resistance: Sub-micron carbide with triple coating provides exceptional heat tolerance and smooth cutting, offering reliable performance across a broad range of materials as a general-purpose option.

Together, the Carmex Tiny Tool face groover helps you achieve precise grooves quickly and consistently, reduces downtime from wear, and offers flexible performance for stainless steels and other materials. The robust carbide substrate combined with advanced coatings supports longer tool life, smoother finishes, and a confident, repeatable machining process.
