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.

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.

From its extensive milling portfolio, the company will be giving a Mach show debut to the new RF100 Sharp Series of high-performance end mills — and this range will be put through its paces on the Grob to emphasise the performance characteristics of the end mills. Designed to address the issue of machining soft, tough and high-alloyed materials that create an issue with swarf clearance, the new RF100 Sharp Series is the manufacturer’s sharpest solid carbide milling tool to date.

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.

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.

As well as demonstrating an extensive range of innovative solid carbide tooling solutions, 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 the facility in Birmingham. Guhring UK has a team of expert engineers that can create productivity, cost, inventory and cycle time savings for UK manufacturers.

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.

As part of the stand at Mach, the company will also be demonstrating its PCD cutting tool portfolio. The range of PCD milling tools includes 2, 3 and 4 cutting edge PCD slot drills and end mills with through-coolant that are all available with a wide variety of shank forms and tolerances, surface finishes and coatings, helix and rake angles and cutting edges.

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.

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.

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.

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.
