Diamond coating is an actual gorwn on CVD diamond which should be used in the machining of graphite or other carbon fiber based materials.

Duro-S is a very high aluminum content coating that crates a protective barrier on the cutting edge as the heat of the maching application increases. Using Duro-S with flood coolant can be detrimental because the coating is unable to create the protective aluminium oxide layer. Dry machining, with either an air blast or light oil/air mist is preferable when maching with Duro-S. Excellent for hardmilling and high-speed machining.

Polychrom is a new generation of coating that has a high heat use zone but also works well with flood coolant. In normal carbon based steels and hardened steels this coating works very well dry, but with stainless steels or nickel based alloys collant works well without the thermal shock you may get with other coatings.

Unicut-4X is a great universal coating which works well in variety of applications and materials. In difficult-to-machine or harder materials, Unicut-4X works well without coolant, but lacks to alluminium content to hold up to high heat applications, dry machining or high-spedd machining.

X-AL is the newset coating in the Fraisa catalog that has extremly high-performance in steel and hardened steel applications. In these applications dry machining or light air oil mist is preferred, but even with flood coolant this coating can add substantial tool-life to your milling applications.

Duro-V is the newset coating in the Fraisa catalog that has extremly high-performance in steel and hardened steel applications. In these applications dry machining or light air oil mist is preferred, but even with flood coolant this coating can add substantial tool-life to your milling applications.
