Texture of the surface is very important in process reproduction of the components. Not only in engineering area, but also in other industrial sectors, the assessment of the surface texture ranks among basic techniques of the determining the surface properties of the component. Pretreatment of the surface can reduce running costs in the case of coating on the tools. The paper describes the changes of the surface textures of the HS6-5-2-5 steel CSN EN ISO 4957 with different technological treatments of the substrates, coating and subsequently polishing of the coating. Substrate was sandblasted (wet) and polished before coating. Coating nACo® was applied by PVD method and surface of the coating specimens was subsequently polished by µLap method. Surface textures together with properties of the coating are decisive factors for their lifetime and durability of the cutting tools. The qualitative assessment of the changes surface texture was carried out by the 3D topography measurement of the surface by using Talysurf CCI Lite. TalyMap software was used for evaluation of the changes surface texture. For evaluation of the surface were used parameters: Sa-arithmetic mean deviation of the surface [μm], Sdq-root mean square slope of the surface [-] and Rk-core roughness depth [μm]. The results in the paper demonstrate positive effect of the polishing on texture coating on the tools.
