At MACH 2024, cutting tool manufacturer Guhring presented a host of new cutting tool innovations. With a complete range of milling, threading and drilling tools on show, it was the groundbreaking new InoxPro solid carbide drills and the SkyLiner series of end mills that stole the show. Guhring gave 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 detrimental to productivity and performance – the new RT100 InoxPro overcomes these challenges with its new geometry that optimises chip formation. Also exciting the crowds at MACH was the incredible new SkyLiner series of end mills for rough and finish machining of aluminium and non-ferrous materials. Generating never-before-seen results when pocketing and wall milling, the new Alu RF100 SkyLiner F provides impeccable surface finishes even at the highest feed rates. This 3-flute tool was complemented at MACH by the Alu RF100 SkyLiner R for rough machining. The combination blew the crowds away with its high-performance aluminium machining credentials. National sales manager, Chris Bush, commented: “MACH was once again a huge success for Guhring UK. We received a record level of enquiries from manufacturers serious about improving their machining performance and strengthening their supply chain by working with Guhring, a UK manufacturing success story with more than £5m of stock on the shelf and ready for immediate delivery. Our unprecedented level of high-quality standard product lines available for next-day delivery excited MACH visitors, especially when some of our lines manufactured in the UK include the new Skyliner Series that made such an impact at the show.” “The unprecedented level of interest in our standard and special product lines demonstrate that Guhring is not only an industry-leading innovator but also a manufacturer that constantly communicates with the industry to deliver groundbreaking innovations that manufacturers require. We look forward to participating in the next MACH exhibition.” Guhringwww.guhring.co.uk

“More recently the company has set up a production facility in India and expanded its production and R&D facilities in Korea where it is regarded as the number one cutting tool manufacturer in that country and now among the top five in the world.”

Range of inserts “Although the company is very strong in tapping, drilling and threading, what is not commonly known in South Africa is that YG-1 manufacture and supply a vast range of turning and milling inserts. The company has spent over $US 100 million in this area of development over the last five years and recently inaugurated another dedicated plant in Chungju, Korea to manufacture carbide inserts, including end mills.”

“Machining is now becoming increasingly advanced with machine tool builders manufacturing more sophisticated machines with higher speeds and accuracy. We as YG-1 have to keep up with the technological advancement in the metal cutting field. To this end YG-1 has two R&D centres operating in South Korea, one in Songdo and another in Chungju.”

“We are targeting to equip as many machines as possible with our vast range of products covering HSS, milling, drilling, turning, threading as well as boring. The YG-1 company was established in 1982 and has been growing as a leading global manufacturer in the cutting tool industry. YG-1 operates its global business through nine overseas production sites including the United States, Ireland, South Korea and China, has 30 sales subsidiaries and has a presence in 75 countries.”

“We are positive about the South African market and are expecting a major growth in the region now that we have a dedicated team of sales and management staff that are operating as a fully functional subsidiary. The South African staff will have access to all of the technical know-how and developments at the South Korean headquarters, as do their colleagues around the world,” said H K Song, Founder and Chairman of YG-1.

The latest Iscar LogiQuick campaign has unveiled a diverse range of new cutting tools, effectively replenishing the company's portfolio.

YG-1, whose cutting tools have been widely distributed in South Africa for many years, has decided to open up a subsidiary in South Africa. The South African subsidiary company – YG-1 South Africa Pty Ltd – is based in the Brentwood Park, Benoni area of Gauteng and is headed up by Lance Hockly, who has been in the cutting tool industry for a number of years.

“YG-1 also develops its own coatings for its products, which includes diamond, PVD and CVD coating. Currently they have just over 50 coating machines in the manufacturing plants and aim to double this number by 2020.”

“This is just the beginning of a journey. YG-1 has an established name in South Africa and we intend to grow that reputation and increase our market share in HSS tooling and carbide cutting tools. The local metal working industry will now be able to benefit from having a dedicated team that will only concentrate on supplying YG-1 products to a broad spectrum of engineering companies,” said Hockly who set up the company in October 2017.

South Korean-based company engaged in the manufacture and distribution of cutting tools also investigating the possibility of opening a local manufacturing plant.

“We are so confident of the local market that we are investigating the possibility of opening a local manufacturing plant. For some time we have wanted to have a permanent presence in South Africa but only now has the opportunity arisen,” concluded H K Song.

A specialist designer and manufacturer of sustainable electric motors and powertrain systems has tapped into a new skills pilot to help it achieve ambitious expansion plans, fuelled by a recent £23m raise.

“The products find applications across industries, such as aerospace, die and mould, automobile, oil and gas, power, electronics, general engineering and medical equipment. We will be holding a sizeable amount of products and stock to cover all these fields of metal cutting. In fact clients will now be exposed to a greater array of YG-1 products, which they were not in the past.”
