Guhring has introduced a new drill family to the United States: the RT 100 XF. "A new proprietary carbide grade, developed by Guhring specifically for the RT 100 XF, provides wear resistance to meet the demanding requirements of high production machining and durability to survive in less rigid machining conditions," said a company spokesperson. The nano-FIREX coating has been improved by utilizing a specialized pre- and post-treatment process, which smooths out the coating.
"Corner protection, achieved with a negative chamfer along the side of the cutting edge, creates an extremely tough and durable cutting edge with exceptional performance," said the spokesperson. The micro-geometry honing process provides a uniform hone, resulting in a stable and efficient cutting edge.
"The RT 100 XF's concave cutting edge, relieved cone point and micro-geometry hone yield an extremely smooth surface finish. This design results in increased operating parameters and extended tool life due to the decrease in cutting forces and operating temperature," said the spokesperson.
"Double margins engage immediately, resulting in improved concentricity and straightness, as well as excellent surface finish," continued the spokesperson. "Polished flutes improve chip evacuation, significantly reducing machining temperature, which prevents work hardening and protects the cutting edges."
RT 100 XF drills are in stock and available with coolant through for 3 mm to 20 mm diameter and 5xD and 7xD lengths. These drills are engineered to excel in steels, but can also be successfully applied in stainless steels, cast iron, Ti/Ni alloys and hardened steels up to 45 HRC.
