Are SpeTool’s V-bits solid carbide and do they have special coatings?

🔍 Yes, the SpeTool V-bits (engraving bits) are made from **solid carbide**, which is ideal for maintaining a sharp tip. Many of them also feature the SPE-X (TAC) **extreme life coating** – a coppery-colored nano coating that extends tool life and enhances cutting performance:contentReference[oaicite:74]{index=74}. This is particularly useful for V-bits because the fine tips can be fragile – the coating helps reduce wear when cutting tougher materials or abrasive composites. For example, their 30° and 60° V-bits often mention the long-life coating in the product description. Solid carbide means they can handle hardwood, MDF, plastics, etc., without dulling quickly (carbide is much harder than HSS). So, you’re getting a high-quality bit. Just remember, even solid carbide can chip at the very tip if dropped or misused – always handle them carefully. But in terms of construction, SpeTool’s V-bits are top-notch materials and coatings, just like their spiral bits.
