So the benefit of ZrN is to (I think) reduce friction and therefore let one run the tool faster without non ferrous materials gumming up. But if I'm running a half inch end mill with plenty of coolant at only 6000 RPM, I'm well under the max SFM manufacturers usually recommend. I think lower than the minimum SFM actually. So would I just be wasting money on a coating I don't need and getting a tool with less sharp cutting edges or is it worth it?
