Carmex Carbide Tiny Tool - Face Grooving is a solid carbide bar designed specifically for precision face grooving. Part of the Tiny Tools family, it creates straight grooves for clean, repeatable finishes on a wide range of parts. This model uses a 6mm minimum diameter with a 1.5mm groove width and is offered in MFR - K20 grade for demanding applications.

Designed to tackle stainless steels and similar materials, these tools pair a robust carbide core with advanced coatings to optimize performance. The product line includes two coating grades: BXC, a PVD TiN-coated option for low-speed grooving, and BMK, a sub-micron grade with triple PVD coating for high heat resistance and smooth cutting. Both are engineered to deliver reliable results across a broad material spectrum.

• Straight-groove geometry for precision: These bars are engineered to produce straight grooves, delivering a clean face and repeatable seating every time.
• TiN-coated BXC grade for low-speed grooving: BXC uses a PVD TiN coating to reduce friction at lower cutting speeds, helping extend tool life and maintain stable finishes on stainless steels (ISO P30-P50 / K25-K40).
• BMK sub-micron grade with triple coating for high heat resistance: BMK combines a sub-micron structure with an advanced PVD triple coating for excellent heat resistance and smooth cutting across a wide material range (ISO K10-K20).

These face-grooving bars are built to deliver consistent, clean grooves with less resistance and fewer finish passes. The carbide core provides long tool life, while the coatings optimize performance across stainless steels and other materials, reducing downtime and enabling predictable results job after job. With a compact 6 mm minimum diameter and 1.5 mm groove width, they fit standard face grooving setups and help you achieve reliable, repeatable results on every part.
