Carmex Carbide Tiny Tool – Face Grooving is a precision solid carbide bar engineered for accurate, straight grooves. Built in MFR K20 grade carbide and part of the Tiny Tools family, it’s designed to deliver crisp shoulders and reliable seating surfaces with minimal finishing. It’s a versatile choice for technicians, engineers, and fabricators working with a range of materials, including stainless steels.

With a 5 mm minimum diameter and a 2 mm groove width, this tool is optimized for consistent groove geometry and dependable performance across jobs. The line offers two coating grades to match your applications: BXC TiN coating for lower-speed cutting and stainless steel work, and BMK sub-micron grade with a triple PVD coating for exceptional heat resistance and smooth cutting in demanding materials.

• Straight-Groove Precision: Specifically designed for face grooving, it delivers clean, straight grooves with sharp shoulders for predictable seating and reduced post-processing.
• Coating Options for Versatility: BXC TiN-coated grade excels at low-speed cuts on stainless steels (ISO P30-P50 / K25-K40), while BMK’s triple-PVD coating provides outstanding heat resistance for tougher materials and longer tool life.
• Durable Carbide for Long Tool Life: Solid carbide construction paired with advanced coatings delivers durable wear resistance and consistent performance across a broad range of materials and production runs.

This tool helps you streamline workflows by producing repeatable, high-quality grooves with minimal setup and finishing time. The combination of rigid carbide, precise geometry, and coatings designed for speed and heat management means fewer tool changes, faster cycle times, and more confident results on complex parts.
