Yes. Bel Air’s FinishMaster™ Vertical Drag Finishers are commonly used for coating polishing applications on carbide end mills, drills, reamers, inserts, and other cutting tools.
Following PVD or CVD coating, microscopic droplets, nodules, and surface irregularities can remain on the tool surface. Controlled polishing helps refine these surfaces without significantly altering edge geometry. The result can be improved chip flow, reduced friction, enhanced surface finish quality, and longer coating life.
Bel Air offers specialized polishing media and process development services to help manufacturers achieve their desired polishing results.
