Carmex Carbide Tiny Tool - Face Grooving is a solid carbide bar crafted for precise face grooving. Designed for engineers, machinists, and hobbyists alike, it delivers clean, straight grooves that help you achieve consistent surface quality on stainless steels and a wide range of other materials. Part of the Tiny Tools family, this precision bar comes in two coating grades to match your cutting speeds and material mix.

Two coating-grade options give you the flexibility to optimize performance for different workflows. The BXC grade features a PVD TiN coating for reliable cutting at lower speeds when working with stainless steels (ISO P30-P50 / K25-K40). The BMK grade uses a sub-micron carbide with an advanced PVD triple coating for exceptional heat resistance and smooth cutting across a broad material spectrum (ISO K10-K20). Both are designed to maximize stability, finish, and tool life in demanding face grooving tasks.

• Straight-groove geometry for precision: Engineered to produce straight, accurate grooves rather than rounded profiles, reducing finishing work and delivering consistently flat surfaces.
• Two coating grades for versatility: BXC TiN-coated for dependable performance at low cutting speeds on stainless steels, and BMK triple-coated sub-micron carbide for high heat resistance and smooth cutting across a wide range of materials.
• Rugged carbide with precise dimensions: Solid carbide construction with an 8 mm minimum diameter and 1 mm groove width for durable, repeatable face grooving and dependable tool life.

This tool helps you streamline setup and production: you get predictable groove dimensions, fewer tool changes, and a reliable finish that reduces rework. Whether you’re optimizing a high-mix shop or tackling a critical face-grooving pass, the Carmex Tiny Tool delivers consistent performance, helping you complete jobs faster with confidence.
