A body with a coating comprising one or more refractory layers of which at least one layer is a layer of alpha -Al2O3 textured in the (110)-direction is disclosed. Said alumina layer which is essentially free of cooling cracks, comprises platelike grains with a length of 2-8 mu m and a length/width ratio of 1-10, preferably 3-7. The coated tools according to the presently claimed invention show improved tool lives compared to prior art tools when used for machining steel or cast iron material.
