The new standard in cutting tool performance enhancement has arrived and is positioned to accommodate all market segments. NanoMech offers a new generation of hybrid technology that greatly enhances the overall performance of numerous varieties of cutting tools and wear parts. NanoMech's award winning technology includes the TuffTek® extreme wear resistant coating product line which provides a breakthrough increase in performance.

TuffTek® enhanced tools can improve tool life 300% or more compared to conventional processes. The combination of exceptional wear resistance and great toughness brings TuffTek® tools closer to an "ideal" cutting tool than any other presently on the market. TuffTek® has the ability to increase productivity when machining the most common materials including pre-hardened and hardened steel. TuffTek® cutting tools can achieve wear life beyond conventionally coated tools and can even approach the wear life offered by polycrystalline cubic boron nitride (PCBN) compact tools. High cost, brittleness, and limited choices of tool geometries are significant issues of concern with PCBN compact tools. Cubic boron nitride (CBN) based technology offers a potential solution to these issues. However, CBN has proven to be exceptionally difficult to reliably deposit using conventional techniques such as physical vapor deposition and chemical vapor deposition. NanoMech's patented coating process uniquely solves the problems associated with creating CBN based coatings. TuffTek® can also be utilized in combination with chip breaker style inserts and does not require a T-land or K-land. TuffTek® benefits also include improved surface finishes, increased levels of production, and the realization of generated cost savings.

TuffTek® offers a cost effective solution that provides the opportunity for your company to maintain a competitive edge in a global market. Our revolutionary new cost-saving, nanotechnology-based product makes tools last longer than ever before!
