Every third patent registration in the area of cutting tools submits a principal claim concerning coating technology. But it is not only because of this that coating is one of the most important driving forces for the future of manufacturing engineering. It represents a major influence on tool performance and is improving it with giant steps [1], [14]. The following paper will not present the current state of today's coating‐industry in the form of the common reviews. It is a short composition of important questions, problems and news in the practice of coating. Therefore the stressed‐out user should find the time for answers to some of his important questions.
