  Niagara Cutter
  MICROSHIELD COATINGS

Niagara Cutter has been the industry leader in the development and promotion of thin film coatings for advanced toot productivity. To reflect this effort, we are introducing Niagara Cutter Microshield Coatings, a name that illustrates the continued advancements of Niagara Cutter coatings. There are now three coatings available on all Niagara Cutter products. Microshield GP (TiN) is an excellent general purpose coating for a wide range of machining applications. Microshield HP (TiCN) is the coating to be specified for high speed and aggressive feed applications. Microshield HH and HM (TiAIN) are the newest Niagara Cutter coatings. Microshield HH is recommended for HSS, cobalt, and solid carbide end mill applications. Microshield HM is designed specifically for solid carbide end mills in machining applications where the work material is 45 to 65 Rc. Microshield HH and HM provide a high level of thermal stability that can take the heat and thermal stresses that occur in milling heat-treated and exotic materials. Manufacturing demands more productivity in metal removal processes and Niagara Cutter Microshield Coatings, along with superior substrate and tool geometry, will meet those demands.


Price List Available
A new and completely revised price list will soon be available from Niagara. The new price list will be the most comprehensive listing of Niagara Cutter products available anywhere. The new priceless includes EDP numbers for all TiCN coated products (Microshield HP) which will make order entry faster and easier. The new price list also includes listings for several line expansions including: Metric Tools, Cobalt Finishing End Mills, Roughing End Mills and several others.
