COATING TYPES<br />
Why Use a diamond coated tool?<br />
Diamond-coated tools last 10 - 20 times longer than bare<br />
tungsten carbide tools allowing almost any job to be<br />
done completely with one tool and with no change due<br />
to wear, no interruption, and no recalibration. Diamond<br />
tools can typically be run two to three times the surface<br />
speed of carbide tools.<br />
Below are the 3 types of diamond coatings used on our<br />
precision cutting tools.<br />
AD-100<br />
Amourphous Diamond<br />
AD-100 is a multi-layered, PVD, amorphous diamond<br />
coating that is designed for graphite machining<br />
with small diameter endmills. The abrasion resistant<br />
quality adds 5 -10 times the cutter life in comparison to<br />
uncoated endmills. AD -100 is a micron thick film that<br />
does not change the shape, size or tolerance. This thin<br />
coating also has an added advantage of a sharp cutting<br />
edge that results in less deflection, which gives better<br />
surface finishes.<br />

CVD<br />
Chemical Vapor Deposition<br />
CVD is a diamond coating that is grown directly<br />
onto carbide tools. This coating produces the highest<br />
degree of hardness and the lowest coefficient of<br />
friction. It has the longest life available for machining<br />
graphite electrodes. It will outlast non-coated end-mills<br />
by 20 - 30 times.<br />

CVD LIGHT is the thinnest of the CVD coatings. You<br />
get the edge sharpness of a thin coating with the<br />
performance of a real diamond coating. This coating<br />
