Solid carbide provides better rigidity than high speed steel. It is extremely heat resistant and used for high speed applications on cast iron, non ferrous materials, plastics, and other tough-to-machine materials.

Titanium nitride (TiN) is a multi-purpose coating which increases chip flow in softer materials. The heat and hardness-resistance allows the tool to run at higher speeds than uncoated tools.
