SFS's "Gold Standard" line of drill bits, reamers and routers feature the latest technology in titanium nitride coating. With numerous applications in industry where difficult and abrasive materials are routinely machined. The TiN coating has proven to not only to increase the quality of the end product but to save time as well.  The hardness of the Titanium Nitride coating is approximately 80 Rc. This coating is excellent for machining soft gummy steels, mild steels, and aluminum. TiN coating is also excellent for flexible materials. Due to its 'slippery' texture the cutter cuts more freely and the chips glide easily across the flat and out of the way. This coating has the best lubricity of any coating which is coupled with its high hardness. This allows it to work on a wide variety of materials and to out perform uncoated tools that may be burning, galling, producing a poor surface finish, or that simply have a short life.

The Gold Standard coating can be placed on all of the engravers, cutters, or endmills manufactured by Crown Cutters. Crown's solid carbide "Gold Standard" cutters mean more and better engraving, fewer cutter changes, reduced heat build-up, higher speeds and feeds, improved part finish, reduced cutter deflection, and 3-5 times normal edge life. As well as this, coated cutters can be resharpened and recoated and still outlast uncoated cutters by 2-3 times. Contact us for current pricing. Specify TiN coating when placing your order or ask about our other selections of tool finishes.

End Mills are fluted tools designed specifically for cut-out applications. They are highly sought after because of their enhanced cutting capabilities over the average products available to the engraving industry. Unlike a parallel cutter which is a half round cutter with one small straight cutting edge, the end mills cut with flutes. A flute is simply a cutting edge but the difference is in the design. Flutes are longer and, for most engraving cut-out applications, spiral slowly for the entire flute length. This spiral works similar to a drill by pulling the chips up and out of the cutting path. By pulling the chips out of the way, the cutter can then cut more freely reducing heat buildup and increasing cycle times. Loot to SFS for..
