Carmex Carbide Tiny Tool - Deep Face Grooving is a solid carbide tool engineered for precision deep face grooves in tight spaces. With a compact geometry of 12 mm minimum diameter, 2 mm groove width, and 15 mm groove depth, it delivers clean, repeatable grooves on a range of parts. It’s ideal for engineers, machinists, and hobbyists who demand reliable performance in challenging groove operations, especially when working with stainless steels. Note: This line does not include bars for left-hand operations.

This tool line offers coating and grade options to match cutting conditions. The BXC grade uses a PVD TiN coating optimized for low cutting speeds and works well with a wide range of stainless steels (ISO P30–P50 / K25–K40). The BMK sub-micron grade features an advanced PVD triple coating for extreme heat resistance and smooth cutting, serving as a general-purpose option for all materials.

• Deep-face grooving geometry: Designed specifically for deep face grooves, with a 12 mm minimum diameter, 2 mm groove width, and 15 mm groove depth to deliver clean, consistent grooves even in tight spaces.
• PVD TiN-coated BXC grade for low-speed stainless steel work: The TiN coating reduces friction and heat at lower cutting speeds, extending tool life and delivering stable performance on stainless steels (ISO P30–P50 / K25–K40).
• Durable solid carbide construction with proven reliability: The solid carbide body provides rigidity and wear resistance for repeatable results, helping minimize downtime and maintain a smooth cut across jobs.

With this tool, you gain a specialized solution for deep grooving that supports faster setup, consistent groove quality, and longer tool life. The combination of precise geometry, coating-optimized performance, and robust carbide construction helps you complete deep grooving tasks more efficiently, reduce tool changes, and achieve repeatable results across stainless steels and other materials.
