Carmex Carbide Tiny Tool - Face Grooving is a solid carbide bar engineered for precise, straight grooves on face surfaces. From the Tiny Tools family, it’s designed to deliver clean walls and repeatable results in CNC and manual setups.

Two coating grades expand its versatility: BXC - a PVD TiN coated grade for low cutting speeds and broad stainless steel compatibility; BMK - a sub-micron grade with advanced PVD triple coating delivering extremely high heat resistance and smooth cutting. This tool is a practical, general-purpose choice for a wide range of materials.

• Straight-groove geometry for precision: Delivers straight, uniform grooves on face surfaces, ensuring clean walls and repeatable results instead of rounded grooves common with other bar styles.
• Coated carbide grades for versatile performance: BXC TiN coating supports efficient cutting at lower speeds and works well with stainless steels (ISO P30-P50 / K25-K40); BMK’s sub-micron grade with triple coating provides exceptional heat resistance and smooth cutting for demanding materials.
• Precisely sized for standard setups: Designed with a 10 mm minimum diameter and 2.5 mm groove width to seat predictably in common holders, delivering consistent groove geometry across jobs.

This combination of straight-groove capability, versatile coating options, and precise sizing helps you complete face-grooving tasks more efficiently. Expect reliable edge life, reduced rework, and consistent results across a wide range of materials, including stainless steels, which translates to faster setups, fewer passes, and improved overall workflow in both professional shops and hobbyist workshops.
