I do not have a lot of experience with coated hobs. Most of my work is fine pitch. Someone told me ( a gear manufacturer) that the cutters need to be uncoated before sharpening and recoated for after sharpening. I think the coating may cause the cutter to crack, not sure on this but it would cause problems if there were hairline cracks.
