As illustrated in Fig. 1, coatings and surface treatments are used to provide improved tribological performance in many kinds of tribo-contacts. In practice, different coating techniques are better suited to some contact types than others. PVD and CVD have their own particular niches within the armory of tribological coatings. They are usually thinner than those produced by other deposition techniques, such as electroplating and thermal spraying. This arises for two main reasons; one is that the growth rate of the vapor deposition methods tends...

A bandsaw blade’s thin kerf reduces the ability to track or cut a straight line. Peterson Blades provide a true cut with far less deviation when hitting a knot or foreign object, giving you improved accuracy and a better quality finish.

Peterson blades typically last for 2-6 years with normal use and maintenance. Some Peterson owners have been using the same blades for over 10 years! To decrease downtime, the Peterson blade can be sharpened while it is still on the mill in less than 10 minutes, and without having to remove any guards.
