ITC introduces extended life cutting tools

At Sign and Digital UK ITC will introduce a knife tool re-grinding service and premiere the Iridis coating on tools for use on aluminium and aluminium composite materials.

The company’s Sally Hunt said the coating “significantly improves tool life, performance and consistency. In trials with customers, it is improving tool life 30% - 50%.” The Iridis coating technology has now been added to ITC’s most popular tooling ranges, such as the 180 A-Series and the STA series of standard and balanced routing tools.
