Why Coating Matters
Coating helps reduce friction, improve wear resistance and support more stable cutting. It cannot fix every problem, but it can improve blade life when the base blade, tooth pitch and machine condition are correct.
| Coating | Typical Use | Selection Note |
|---|---|---|
| TiN | General steel and non-ferrous metal cutting | Common balanced option. |
| TiAlN | More demanding heat and wear conditions | Often used when higher heat resistance is needed. |
| TiCN | Applications needing surface hardness and wear resistance | Useful in selected metal cutting conditions. |
| VAPO / Black oxide | Chip flow and friction control | Can help in specific HSS cutting applications. |
Do Not Choose Coating Alone
If tooth count, feed, speed, clamping or coolant are wrong, a better coating may still fail. Send the full cutting condition before selecting a coating.
What To Send
Send blade OD, thickness, bore, tooth count, material grade, machine model, current coating if known, cutting speed, coolant condition and the problem you want to solve.
