Performance

The level of performance you get from our saw blades depends on edge geometry and type of coatings applied.

Tru-Cut Saw is equipped with the finest saw blade production machinery and PVD coating equipment available today. Our Swiss-manufactured coating chambers produce highly consistent, tool-specific coatings that can be individually tailored to customer specifications.

Our coating technologies have helped make Tru-Cut saw blades famous around the world for high productivity and durability. These same coating technologies can be applied to your cutting and forming tools—saving you time, money and headaches.

We've recently expanded our in-house PVD coating capabilities and established a separate division,
ICO Surface Coatings, to provide high quality coating services for tool manufacturers and suppliers.

We offer PVD coating and recoating services for all types new and used tools such as drills, taps, reamers, milling cutters, hobs, gears, punches as well as our own saw blades.

Both standard and special surface treatments are available. Standard PVD coatings are: CrN, TiN, TiCN, AlTiN-ML, AlTiN-XL, AlTiCrN and TiAlCN Phoenix™.

Our coating equipment handles part sizes up to 1,000 mm OD x 700mm.

We welcome high volume orders as well as small rush jobs. Normal turn around is 3-4 days. Local pick-up and delivery is available.

CrN

• forming applications
• molds and dies
• machine components
• optimum release for forming tools
• low deposition temperature possible (around 200°C)

Monolayer: for stable finishing and roughing

TOP

TiN
The most widely used general-purpose cost-effective coating for ferrous and non-ferrous materials:

• Cutting
• Forming
• Injection molding
• Wear parts

Monolayer: for stable finishing and roughing

TOP

TiCN
Best suited for:

• Interrupted cutting
• Milling and tapping
• Stamping, punching and forming
• Stainless steel cutting (300 series or non-ferrous)

Monolayer: for stable finishing and roughing

TOP

AlTiN-ML
The new universal high-performance coating for:

• Cutting
• Drilling
• Milling
• Reaming
• Turning

Also suitable for dry machining, alloy steels and stainless steel cutting (400 series)
Available as a mono and multi-layer
Monolayer: for stable finishing and roughing
Multilayer: for interrupted cuts

TOP

AlTiN-XL

• Very high aluminum content
• Very high heat resistance
• For dry high speed machining
• Especially good for hard machining

Also suitable for Alloy steels and stainless steel cutting
(400 series)
Available as a mono and multi-layer
Multilayer: for interrupted cuts

TOP

AlTiCrN
For Heat resistant alloys and high performance cutting:

• Higher hardness
• Chrome based for better adhesion
• Lower friction coefficient

Available as a mono and multi-layer
Monolayer: for stable finishing and roughing
Multilayer: for interrupted cuts

TOP

TiAlCN Phoenix™
A higher performing multi-layer coating for a wide range of applications. Phoenix combines the best properties of TiN (wide application), TiAlN (high heat resistance) and TiCN (high shock resistance).

• Tools run longer and at higher feeds and speeds
• Reduced heat build-up
• Higher productivity for most applications

Available as a mono and multi-layer
Monolayer: for stable finishing and roughing
Multilayer: for interrupted cuts
