Cutting Tools for Motorsports
Your advantages with BALINIT® coatings:
  • Even demanding lightweight materials can be machined more quickly and precisely.
  • Tool life and behaviour are significantly improved and more predictable.
  • Dry machining and minimal lubrication reduce costs and cleaning requirements.
  • New production methods become possible (e.g. deep drawing instead of machining, milling instead of die sinking), which reduces production times and costs.
  • Part finished quality is improved, making retouching work no longer necessary.
  • Even with reground and recoated tools, the same tool service life can be achieved and production cycle times can be maintained.
