The Mini Tools line from Carmex Precision Tools LLC, combining long-reach carbide shank toolholders with through coolant with a wide selection of quick indexing coated inserts, are designed for high-performance threading, turning, grooving, boring and chamfering in conventional and hard materials. Applications include threading, including threads with large pitch/profile, long-thread generation and applications requiring overhang.

The carbide shank toolholder with through coolant provides excellent vibration resistance combined with long reach. Inserts feature BLU submicron grade carbide with advanced PVD triple layer coating for high heat resistance and smooth cutting operation. Inserts are available in a variety of sizes and configurations.

According to Jeff Dei, president of Carmex USA, "The new Mini Tools line is another example of Carmex's emphasis on top quality tooling for smaller parts. The increasing market for Swiss-style machining on smaller complex parts includes multiple applications in fields such as aerospace, medical tools and implants, the energy industries, and others. The Carmex combination of innovative product design and superior quality is helping our customers meet these new challenges and maintain a competitive edge."
