Uncoated
Accumulation of workpiece material creates a build-up conditioning on the cutting edge due to heat and pressure. Chip formation is the result of tearing or pulling rather than cutting. This will affect tool life, surface finish and workpiece accuracy.

Titanium Nitride Coated
Ultra-thin fim coating improves lubricity to enhance chip flow, resist galling and build-up. This coated tool will last longer because less heat is generated at the cutting edge resulting in improved surface finish and accuracy, even at accelerated feeds and speeds.
