Designed for external face grooving, the Carmex Small Indexable Carbide Insert delivers precise, reliable performance in external machining tasks. The T10 designation and compact geometry are optimized for controlled cuts in tight environments.

• External minimum bore: 12.0 mm / 0.47 in
• Width: 2.5 mm
• Groove depth: 5 mm
• Material & coating: Carbide insert with BLU PVD triple-layer coating (sub-micron grade) for broad material compatibility
• Designation: T10 indexable carbide insert
• Application: External face grooving
• Material compatibility: Suitable for stainless steels, cast iron, titanium, non-ferrous metals, and most high-temperature alloys (M10–M20, K05–K20, N10–N20, S10–S20)

This insert supports stable, efficient external grooving with a robust coating that resists wear across a range of workpiece materials. The BLU PVD triple-layer finish reduces friction and enhances wear resistance, helping to maintain consistent groove dimensions and surface finish over longer tool life. With a 12 mm minimum bore, 2.5 mm width, and 5 mm groove depth, it’s well-suited for precise, repeatable external face-grooving operations in demanding environments.
