Cutting Tools prides itself on a new in-house Physical Vapor
Deposition (PVD) Coating Plant, Eifeler Coating Services,
Inc., which is a joint venture between Eifeler Werkzeuge GmbH
(Dusseldorf, Germany) & Precision Cutting Tools. This
new facility features the most recent Cathodic Arc coating
equipment from Eifeler, advanced production technologies,
precision fixturing, high volume capacities, sophisticated
inspection and failure analysis equipment. This full service
facility is capable of handling tooling ranging from smaller
round shank tools to large hobs and broaches. Eifeler Coating
Services has just introduced a unique new multi-layered technology,
which has shown significant performance benefits over traditional
coatings. Now, Precision Cutting Tools is proud to offer it
to the American market. |

Cutting Tools can now offer a wide variety of PVD
coatings, including your choice of TiN, TiCN, CrN,
CrCN, Exxtral® Plus (AlTiN), Varianta® (TiAlN),
and Variantic® (TiAlCN). These coatings can all
be utilized on a vast range of materials, primarily
in industries ranging from the medical and automotive
to the aeronautics and tooling industries.Knowing
full well how vital your tools are to your business,
we have reduced turnaround time, in most cases, to
less than 48 hours.
Our staff & technical team are ready to answer
any questions concerning your design and customizing
needs. Give us a call.
