Carmex Carbide Tiny Tool - Face Grooving is a solid carbide bar engineered specifically for face grooving tasks. It delivers straight grooves with clean, consistent geometry, making it ideal for precision finishing on components where flat faces matter. Designed for rigidity and control, it features an 8 mm minimum diameter and a 1 mm groove width to optimize stability during cutting, especially on challenging materials.

Available in coated variants to match your application, including BXC - PVD TiN coated grade for low cutting speeds and stainless steels (ISO P30-P50 / K25-K40), and BMK - a sub-micron grade with advanced PVD triple coating offering extremely high heat resistance (ISO K10-K20) for smooth cutting and reliable performance across a broad range of materials.

• Straight-groove geometry for precise face finishing: Produces straight grooves, delivering flat, uniform faces and reducing the need for additional finishing steps after machining.
• Coatings for durability and versatile performance: Choose BXC TiN coating for low-speed stainless steel work to extend tool life, or BMK triple-coated grade for high-heat, broad-material cutting, ensuring stable results across jobs.
• Optimized geometry: 8 mm minimum diameter and 1 mm groove width: Provides a rugged, controlled engagement with predictable wear and consistent groove dimensions in every pass.

Using these face grooving carbide bars helps you achieve repeatable grooves with minimal downtime. The coating options and K20-grade BMK variant are designed to handle demanding production runs, improving throughput while maintaining surface quality. Built for reliability, they support faster setups, fewer tool changes, and consistent results across a variety of materials.
