Guhring brings new innovations and dependable favourites to the NEC

Guhring UK will premiere a host of cutting tool innovations at MACH 2024. With new product lines alongside proven ranges there will be a complete range of milling, threading, and drilling solutions on show.

Notably, Guhring will give a MACH show premiere to the new RT100 InoxPro range of high-performance solid carbide drills for machining stainless steel and titanium alloys. When machining these challenging materials, tool wear can be a formidable opponent to productivity and performance.

The new RT100 InoxPro overcomes these challenges with its new geometry that optimises chip formation. This combined with an ultra-smooth Perrox coating enhances wear protection and an optimised carbide substrate that delivers the perfect balance of hardness and toughness.

Available with 3 x D, 5 x D and 7 x D variants from 3 to 20mm diameter with 0.1mm increments, Guhring says this through coolant series will improve feed rates and tool life by more than 50% while improving process control and chip evacuation. The company will also present its Micro Precision Drills, the RT100T and RT100XF as well as firm favourites like the HR500 reaming line and SpyroTec spiral fluted chamfer milling cutters.

The milling portfolio from Guhring continues to expand rapidly. Since MACH 2022, the Birmingham manufacturer has added a wealth of innovations including the new SkyLiner series of end mills for rough and finish machining of aluminium and non-ferrous materials.

Especially suited for pocketing and wall applications with thin wall sections with depths up to 3 x D, the new Alu RF100 SkyLiner F delivers excellent surface finishes even at the highest feed rates.

This three-flute tool is offered in diameters from 6 to 20mm with axial through coolant ducts, a 0.2mm corner radius and a variable helix that makes the range perfect for finish milling. Accompanying the Alu RF100 Skyliner F at MACH will be the Alu RF100 SkyLiner R for rough machining. Guhring says this series is the perfect solution for high-performance machining in aluminium.

Alongside these MACH debutants, Guhring will introduce a multitude of favourites such as the RF100 Sharp, the ever-growing Diver Series of end mills and the RF100 Speed. The RF100 Sharp high-performance end mills made a MACH debut appearance in 2022 and will return in 2024 with an extended range to demonstrate how to address the issue of machining soft, tough and high-alloyed materials that create swarf evacuation issues.

The RF100 Sharp Series has an extremely smooth cutting action and high chip removal capability. This, and its ability to be used in a wide variety of applications such as slotting, ramping, roughing, helical milling, finishing and trochoidal cutting, make the new RF100 Sharp and end mill of choice when flexibility is required.

For the micro-machining sector, Guhring will showcase the RF100 Micro Diver. The micro-precision milling range is a universal tool for every material and application. Providing plunging and milling in a single tool, the RF100 Micro Diver is available in two variants, the 6808 and 6809. An innovative flute form further enhances rigidity and eliminates vibration. The series is suitable for cutting materials up to 48 HRC at depths up to 5 x D and is available with a cutting diameter from 0.79mm to 3.175mm.

As well as demonstrating all the latest ranges, Guhring engineers will be on hand at MACH to discuss the scope of special tooling solutions that can be designed, developed, manufactured and trialled at its facility in Birmingham. Guhring UK has a team of expert engineers that can create productivity, cost, inventory and cycle time savings for UK manufacturers.

As part of the stand at MACH, Guhring will also be demonstrating its extensive PCD cutting tool portfolio.
