Application areas – examples › Carbide-tipped circular saw blades › Planer knives › Corrugated knives for profiling › Finger jointing cutters › Tersa knives › Drills Ground-breaking coating for the woodworking industries In recent years, the coating of cutting tools has become increasingly popular. It used to be primarily metalworking companies that benefited from the increased tool life resulting from the new coating technology. Now, Kyocera Unimerco’s new C5 coating provides similar substantial advantages for furniture and woodworking manufacturers. The C5 coating has been developed specifically for woodworking tooling. A number of companies participating in full-scale production trials have already decided to switch from conventional tooling to C5-coated products. Specifications Typical application areas The C5 coating is suitable for the following tooling types: carbide-tipped circular saw blades, planer knives, corrugated knives for profiling, finger jointing cutters, Tersa knives and drills. The C5 coating is especially suitable for tooling used to machine solid and laminated timber. Technology benefits The C5 coating ensures: › Greatly improved tool life (normally 400-500%) › Improved chip flow and thus less build-up on tools › Improved heat dissipation on the tools (resulting in, for exam- ple, the avoidance of burn marks on carbide multi-rip circular saw blades). The results speak for themselves C5-coated tools ensure uniform machining quality, reduce production downtime, cut maintenance costs and generally improve productivity significantly. In-house coating centre The coating is provided at our own in-house coating centre by highly- skilled engineers and chemists. The result is first-class quality and fast delivery.
