Meet the Carmex Carbide Tiny Tool – Face Grooving bars. These solid carbide bars are engineered for precise face grooving, delivering straight grooves for clean walls and consistent depth. Designed for a 6 mm minimum diameter and a 0.5 mm groove width, they fit standard face-grooving setups and are compatible with a broad range of stainless steels. Available in two high-performance coatings within the Tiny Tools family: BXC TiN-coated for low cutting speeds and BMK sub-micron grade with triple coating for maximum heat resistance.

• Straight groove geometry for precise face grooving: Produces straight grooves with clean walls and consistent depth, helping you avoid post-process finishing and ensuring repeatable results.
• TiN-coated BXC grade for low-speed cutting: Optimizes wear life and surface finish when working with stainless steels (ISO P30-P50 / K25-K40) at lower speeds, reducing tool downtime and chatter.
• BMK sub-micron grade with triple coating for heat resistance: Offers extremely high heat resistance and smooth cutting action, giving durable performance across a broad material range and making it a versatile, long-lasting choice.

These Tiny Tool carbide bars are built for durability and reliable performance in busy shops. Their coatings and geometry work together to deliver consistent grooves, minimize deformation and post-processing, and support a wide range of materials—from stainless steels to general-purpose applications—while maintaining steady cutting action across job sizes. With a compact 6 mm minimum diameter and 0.5 mm groove width, they integrate smoothly into existing tooling setups, helping you achieve precise results with confidence.
