Carmex Mini Tools Available In Inch Sizes

Mini Tools

Originally introduced in metric configurations, Carmex’s Mini Tools line is now available in standard inch dimensions.

The Mini Tools line joins the Carmex Tiny Tools and Swiss-Style tooling in an expanded selection of high precision, multi-function tools designed for small size applications and Swiss-style machining.

By incorporating long-reach carbide shank toolholders featuring through coolant with an extensive selection of quick indexing coated inserts, manufacturers can accomplish high performance threading, turning, grooving, boring, and chamfering in both conventional and hard materials. Threads with large pitch/profile, long thread generation, and applications requiring over-hang can be machined with vibration resistance and long reach, thanks to the carbide shank toolholder. Mini Tool inserts feature BLU submicron grade carbide and advanced PVD triple layer coating for high heat resistance, smooth cutting operation, and long life.

Jeff Dei, president of Carmex USA, comments, “Since its recent introduction, the Mini Tools line has been exceptionally well received by customers manufacturing high-value parts with metric dimensions. The new inch sizes were made available in response to high market demand, especially among shops and manufacturers using Swiss-style machining. Increasing activity in the medical tools and implants, defense/aerospace sector, energy, and other markets has resulted in a widening popularity of Carmex comprehensive lines or tooling for small-sized, high-value parts.”
