Today, Both manufacturing and design engineers recognize the benefits of thin-film coated products. By applying a carefully selected coating on tool work surfaces, tool life can be increase dramatically, from 50% to 500% longer or more! Additional savings quickly add up, not only from reduced tool replacement cost, but also from the significant reduction in production down time for tool changes and set-ups. Overhead costs associated with purchasing, receiving, and reconditioning also add to the overwhelming benefits of using coated tools.
