The Carmex Carbide Tiny Tool for Face Grooving is a solid carbide bar built for precise, straight grooves in face grooving work. It’s designed for engineers, machinists, and hobbyists who demand consistent groove depth and clean finishes with minimal finishing work. With a 6 mm minimum diameter and a 2 mm groove width, this tool is compact yet durable enough for demanding production tasks.

Available in two advanced coating options, it delivers reliable performance across a range of materials. The BXC grade uses a PVD TiN coating optimized for low cutting speeds and good compatibility with stainless steels (ISO P30-P50 / K25-K40). The BMK grade features a sub-micron core with a triple PVD coating for exceptional heat resistance and smooth cutting, providing broad material versatility on general-purpose applications.

• Straight-groove geometry: Delivers precise, straight grooves for consistent depth and a cleaner finish, reducing the need for secondary finishing steps.
• Two coating grades for versatility: BXC TiN-coated for low-speed stainless steel work and BMK triple-coated for high-heat performance across a wider material range.
• Sturdy carbide core with precise dimensions: Solid carbide construction with a 6 mm minimum diameter and 2 mm groove width for stiffness, wear resistance, and dependable tool life.

Using this tool helps you achieve reliable, repeatable grooves with minimal deviation, improving workflow and throughput. The dual-coating options let you tailor performance to your material and cutting conditions—from stainless steels to other general-purpose materials—while the carbide core delivers long tool life and consistent results across production runs. With its compact 6 mm diameter and 2 mm groove width, it fits into tight slots and tight-tolerance projects, enabling higher-quality finishes and reduced rework across your shop floor.
