The Carmex Small Indexable Carbide Insert is engineered for external face grooving with a full-radius profile, delivering precise grooves in demanding materials. The BLU PVD-coated, sub-micron carbide grade supports reliable performance across stainless steels, cast iron, titanium, non-ferrous metals, and most high-temperature alloys.

• Type: Indexable carbide insert for external face grooving with a full-radius profile
• Ø Min. Bore: 12.0 mm (0.47 in)
• Width: 2 mm
• Radius: R1
• Coating / Grade: BLU PVD triple-layer coating on sub-micron carbide grade
• Material compatibility: Stainless steels, cast iron, titanium, non-ferrous metals, and most high-temperature alloys
• Alloy groups: Compatible with M10–M20, K05–K20, N10–N20, S10–S20 variants

With its BLU coating and precise geometry, this insert promotes smooth cutting action, reduced built-up edge, and consistent groove depth. The compact 2 mm width and R1 radius enable tight tolerances and clean chip control, while the external minimum bore of 12 mm allows straightforward tool integration and quick indexable changes for efficient, high-volume grooving operations.
