Carmex Carbide Tiny Tool – Face Grooving bars are solid carbide tools engineered to create precise, straight grooves on the faces of workpieces. They’re designed to deliver clean, repeatable groove geometry that simplifies finishing and seating operations. These bars come in an 8 mm minimum diameter with a 2 mm groove width, making them a direct fit for common face grooving setups.

Part of the Tiny Tools family, these bars are offered in two high‑performance grades. The BXC grade features a PVD TiN coating optimized for low cutting speeds on stainless steels (ISO P30‑P50 / K25‑K40), while the BMK grade uses a sub‑micron, advanced PVD triple coating for excellent heat resistance and smooth cutting across a broad material range. General purpose for all materials.

• Precision straight-face grooves: Engineered to produce straight grooves for reliable seating and a clean finish, avoiding rounded contours seen with some other bar designs.
• Two coating grades for versatile performance: BXC TiN coating excels at low-speed stainless cutting, while BMK’s sub‑micron, triple coating delivers high heat resistance and smooth cutting across many materials.
• Durable carbide with proven reliability: Solid carbide construction paired with advanced coatings provides dependable performance and broad material compatibility for everyday and demanding applications.

These face grooving bars help you achieve consistent results, reduce rework, and extend tool life across a wide range of materials. The straight-groove geometry, combined with purpose-built coatings, supports smoother operations, cooler cuts, and more predictable outcomes—making them a dependable choice for workshops, production environments, and professional machining alike.
