There are several ways to increase the life of a tool. One of the most common ways is coating. Coating can help with performance and maintaining the life of a tool by increasing wear resistance and reducing friction by providing a thermal barrier between the tool and workpiece. Coating allows the tool to tolerate significantly higher cutting speeds and feeds which reduces machining time and costs.

M.A. Ford® offers a wide variety of coatings. In our new coating area we can coat tools from .015 to 1 inch. We have several in-house coatings we run through our new coating area such as our ALtima®, ALtima® Blaze and ALtima® Q high performance coatings. Our R & D department is constantly testing new coatings always looking to improve tool life and performance.

Our new XV7, XV7CB and XV5CB high performance end mills use our new ALtima® Q coating for optimal performance.

Any M.A. Ford® uncoated standard tool can be coated if requested.
