PVD-coated cutting tools offer the following advantages:
All coated tools exhibit greater cutting performance and yet essentially longer lifecycles.
The longer lifecycles lead to lower tool needs, and when recoating services are requested in good time this also reduces the number of tools in circulation.
Expensive special tools last longer, and these longer lifecycles mean also fewer tools in circulation.
HSC, dry, and hard machining is now possible with special tools.
Coated tools facilitate or even first make possible machining operations on materials that were earlier considered intractable.
Regrinded and recoated tools are very nearly as effective as new tools.
