Carmex Carbide Tiny Tool - Face Grooving is a purpose-built solid carbide bar engineered for precise face grooving. With a 6 mm minimum diameter and a 1 mm groove width, this compact tool delivers clean, straight grooves quickly and reliably. Designed for a wide audience—from engineers and buyers to tradespeople and hobbyists—the tool helps you achieve consistent groove geometry in demanding setups, including stainless steels.

Two coated grades in the Tiny Tools BMK family address different cutting conditions. The BXC grade features a PVD TiN coating optimized for low cutting speeds and excellent performance on stainless steels (ISO P30-P50 / K25-K40). The BMK grade is a sub-micron, triple-PVD coated option that offers extremely high heat resistance and smooth cutting, making it a versatile, general‑purpose choice suitable for all materials (ISO K10-K20).

• Straight groove geometry: Delivers clean, precisely shaped grooves for a consistent finish and easier post-processing, minimizing rework and setup adjustments.
• Two coating options for versatility: Choose BXC TiN for reliable stainless-steel performance at lower speeds, or BMK’s triple-PVD coating for high heat tolerance and smooth cutting across a broader range of materials.
• Durable carbide construction: Solid carbide design provides durability and long tool life in demanding face-grooving tasks, helping you maintain steady productivity and reliable results.

Using the Carmex Tiny Tool for face grooving helps you achieve repeatable, high-quality grooves with less downtime. The combination of precise geometry, material-specific coatings, and robust carbide construction supports faster setups, better surface finishes, and reliable performance across common machining scenarios.
