The Carmex Carbide Tiny Tool – Face Grooving with Chip Breaker is a precision solid carbide bar engineered for dedicated face grooving. Part of the Tiny Tools family, this left‑hand tool is designed to produce straight grooves with a built‑in chip breaker for cleaner cuts and easier chip management. With an 8 mm minimum diameter and a 2 mm groove width, it provides stable engagement for reliable, repeatable results across commonMaterials.

Two coating options add resilience and versatility to the tool line. The BXC TiN-coated grade is optimized for low cutting speeds and works well with a wide range of stainless steels (ISO P30-P50 / K25-K40). The BMK variant uses a sub‑micron grade with advanced PVD triple coating, delivering extremely high heat resistance and smooth cutting across materials (ISO K10-K20). This combination lets you tailor performance to the job at hand without changing tooling.

• Straight groove design with chip breaker: Delivers precise, straight grooves and uses a built‑in chip breaker to minimize chip buildup, reduce recutting, and improve surface finish.
• Two coating options for versatile material compatibility: Choose BXC TiN for efficient stainless steel cutting at low speeds, or BMK’s triple PVD coating for high heat resistance and smooth cutting across a broad material range.
• Left-hand geometry for stable cutting: Optimized orientation provides predictable engagement and reduced chatter, helping maintain consistent groove dimensions during longer runs.

This Tiny Tool supports efficient workflows by delivering repeatable, high‑quality grooves with reliable chip control. The carbide construction, combined with tailored coatings and thoughtful geometry, helps extend tool life, reduce downtime, and achieve consistent results from part to part on stainless steels and other common materials.
