The Carmex Carbide Tiny Tool is a precision solid carbide bar designed specifically for face grooving. Part of the Tiny Tools family, it delivers straight grooves with excellent dimensional control, making it ideal for production runs, workshops, and DIY projects alike. With a 6 mm minimum diameter and a 1 mm groove width, this tool is ready for tight, repeatable grooves on a wide range of materials. It is offered in two coating grades to match your cutting conditions: BXC, a PVD TiN coated grade optimized for low cutting speeds, and BMK, a sub-micron grade with advanced PVD triple coating that delivers high heat resistance and smooth cutting for general purpose use across materials.

• Straight, consistent face-groove geometry: engineered to produce clean, linear grooves, improving depth and width control for uniform part quality.
• Coating versatility for different materials and speeds: BXC TiN coating enhances wear resistance at low speeds (great for stainless steels ISO P30–P50 / K25–K40); BMK’s triple PVD coating provides exceptional heat resistance and smooth cutting across a broad material range.
• Durable carbide with proven reliability: engineered for long tool life and stable performance in demanding face-grooving applications, reducing downtime and improving batch consistency.

This Tiny Tool pair of coatings and the precise straight-groove geometry work together to deliver repeatable results, minimal chatter, and crisp groove finishes. Whether you’re running high-volume production or precise prototypes, it helps you hit tight tolerances faster, maintain consistent groove dimensions, and finish parts with confidence.
