The Stellram group of products include such production-enhancing milling technologies such as the 7792 and 7793 high-feed milling cutter systems and the 5230 Chevron Long Edge mill cutter system, along with X-Grade carbide insert technology. High-performance materials such as titanium and other low-weight/high-strength alloys of particular interest to the aerospace industry are the materials of choice for these proprietary cutter designs, inserts, and grades.

Blaser Swisslube and its industry partners embarked on a unique and ambitious project: CNC machining a model of the Lamborghini Huracan Evo 2 Super Trofeo race car. The challenge to match the car and machine it at 1/8 scale shows the amazing abilities of the team at the Blaser technology center.

X-Grade inserts are also designed to yield the highest levels of material removal rates in high-performance materials like titanium as well as other difficult-to-machine alloys such as nickel-based alloys, cobalt-based alloys and titanium-based alloys used extensively in aerospace and energy Markets.

The new RF100 Sharp demonstrates smooth cutting action and chip removal and it is also a flexible end mill suitable for slotting, ramping, roughing, helical milling, finishing and trochoidal cutting. The smooth cutting action combined with the potential to be used in a wide variety of applications makes the new RF100 Sharp ideal for challenging material types.

The unique Stellram 5230 Chevron Long-Edge Milling series of inserts and cutters work together to provide substantial reductions in machining time for titanium and other high-strength alloys. The advanced chevron insert design ensures that one cutting point is always in contact with the work material during entrance and exit. Single-line contact on the cutter body means no two inserts are contacting the workpiece on the same axial plane. Together this provides optimum harmonic stability, reducing power consumption and maximizing tool life.

From a dimension perspective, the new RF 100 5 and 7 Speed are available with cutting diameters of 6, 8, 10, 12, 16 and 20 mm with a necked diameter that permits cutting depths from 20 to over 60 mm depending upon the diameter selected.

Also, on show at Mach will be the Ratio line of roughing end mills. With flat crested geometry and an optimised roughing profile that demonstrates 60 percent longer service life, the Ratio high-performance roughing cutter has several geometry adjustments aimed at providing performance. The Ratio increases material removal rates with its asymmetrical cutting flutes that reduce cutting pressure compared to smooth cutters.

The high-feed 7793 high-performance cutters and inserts is one of the many Stellram solutions now available from Kennametal.

Appearing alongside the new ranges will be established lines like the RF100 5-Speed and RF100 7-Speed solid carbide end mills. Developed for the machining of very tough materials, the RF100 5-Speed and RF100 7-Speed solid carbide end mills take cutting speeds and process reliability to a new level. The increased tooth number of the five-fluted 5-Speed and seven-fluted 7-Speed generate high metal removal rates with stable process reliability, even when processing the most difficult-to-machine materials. As part of the highly dynamic Guhring Trochoidal Cutting (GTC) series, the new RF100 5-Speed and RF100 7-Speed are perfect for machining tough stainless steels, special alloys and a wide variety of steel and cast-iron grades.

From the 4th to the 8th of April, Guhring will return to the Mach exhibition at the Birmingham NEC. In Hall 19 on Stand 210, the cutting tool manufacturer will be introducing new product lines alongside established industry-leading ranges.

High-feed milling nserts are available with proprietary Stellram X-Grade® technology. X-Grade technology uses ruthenium as a key ingredient, combined with a cobalt binder, for superior thermal-cracking and propagation resistance. The results are metal-removal rates up to three times higher than conventional cutting tools and longer tool life. X-Grade inserts are available in a variety of styles for a variety of applications.

The Guhring stand at this year's Mach will showcase a complete range of threading, turning, drilling and milling tools, many of which will be live cutting at the trade fair on a Grob 5-axis machining centre that will be on the stand.

Late last year, Kennametal finalized its acquisition of the tungsten materials business from Allegheny Technologies Inc., including the full line of Stellram metalworking tools (formerly ATI Stellram). Now the full platform of Stellram products—with solutions specifically tailored to support energy, aerospace, transportation and other vital industries—are available as part of the Kennametal portfolio.

The optimal cutting conditions for the RF 100 5-Speed is applications on all tough materials up to 1200 N/mm2 and where a ramping angle of up to 10° is required. The solution is also perfect for slotting with cutting depths up to 1XD and helical milling. Whilst the RF 100 7-Speed is also the perfect choice for tough materials up to 1400 N/mm2, the seven fluted variant is also ideal for helical milling at in-feeds of up to 0.05XD ap per cycle.

The RF100 Micro Diver Series is suitable for cutting materials up to 48HRC at depths up to 5XD. With a 40° helix angle to evacuate chips from the work area when conducting high-speed machining, the Series is available with a cutting diameter from 0.79 mm to 3.175 mm with a multitude of dimensional increments available.

Following the success of the Diver Series of end mills, Guhring has now extended this series to the micromachining sector with the new RF100 Micro Diver. The new micro-precision milling range is a universal tool for every material and application. Providing plunging and milling in a single tool, the new RF100 Micro Diver permits extreme cutting values with very highly cutting depths. Available in two variants, the 6808 and 6809, the RF100 Micro Diver features a symmetrical drilling face for stability when ramping and drilling, a new transition geometry to improve rigidity and an innovative flute form that further enhances rigidity and eliminates vibration.

The 4-flute end mills are suitable for machining steel, stainless steel, aluminium, aluminium alloys and other challenging materials. Available in three versions, an extra-long design long (DIN+) that is an extension on the long (DIN) version but has an even longer cutting edge and there is also a standard length end mill. The RF100 Sharp is offered in all common sizes up to 20 mm diameter. Depending upon the chosen diameter, the RF100 Sharp is supplied with an overall length from 50 to 104 mm with a flute length from 3 to 41 mm.

The Stellram 7792 and 7793 milling cutters direct cutting forces axially into the spindle, lessening spindle wear and improving machining stability. Both modern and older equipment benefit from this cutting tool technology. These Stellram face mills operate at shallow depths of cut and very high feed rates, resulting in metal-removal rates up to 5 times greater than conventional cutters. In addition to high-feed face milling, the 7792 is capable of pocketing, slotting, and plunging.
