Freud's line of CNC router bits with Black I.C.E. coating helps cool cutting edges by shielding the solid carbide cutting edge by creating a slick, lubricant-like coating. Combined with the company’s TiCo (titanium cobalt) hi-density carbide and Black I.C.E coating, the bits offer a sharper edge with precise cuts with less wear, resulting in 2X tool life, the company said. The router bits are designed for CNC machines utilizing "nested base" manufacturing or "pod and rail" for high-speed applications using a variety of laminates and substrates.
