Originally introduced in metric configurations, Carmex’s Mini Tools line is now available in standard inch dimensions. The Mini Tools line joins the company’s Tiny Tools and Swiss-Style tooling in an expanded selection of high-precision, multifunction tools designed for small size applications and Swiss-type machining.
The long-reach carbide shank toolholders equipped with through coolant combined with quick-indexing coated inserts enables threading, turning, grooving, boring and chamfering in both conventional and hard materials. Due to the toolholder, threads with large pitch and profile, long thread generation, and applications requiring overhang can be machined with vibration resistance and long reach, the company says. Mini Tool inserts feature BLU submicron-grade carbide and triple-layer PVD coating for high heat resistance, smooth cutting operation and long tool life.
