Variable helix end mills <strong>RF</strong> <strong>100</strong> U for materials < 54 HRC<br />

<strong>RF</strong>-LINE<br />

<strong>Guhring</strong> has developed the <strong>RF</strong> <strong>100</strong> end mill with variable<br />

helix angle primarily to prevent chattering and the so-called<br />

corkscrew effect (as found when withdrawing tools having<br />

a large helix angle).<br />

The <strong>RF</strong> <strong>100</strong> U is a universal design for a wide range of materials<br />

and applications. This design is an excellent choice for job<br />

shops and manufacturers who mill a variety of materials.<br />

The variable helix angle also offers the following additional<br />

advantages:<br />

• up to 60% higher in feed rates<br />

• longer tool life<br />

• increased drilling depths<br />

• vibration-free machining<br />

• suitable for roughing and finishing<br />

• increased surface finish quality<br />

• reduced cutter wandering<br />

Micro edge<br />

<strong>RF</strong> <strong>100</strong> U/HF variable helix roughing /<br />

finishing end mills for materials < 54 HRC<br />

Based on our standard <strong>RF</strong> <strong>100</strong> end mills, we have developed<br />

a new series of variable-helix end mills with a completely<br />

new designed roughing profile.<br />

The result is a drastic increase in tool life compared to conventional<br />

knuckle-type geometries and an improvement<br />

in surface finish-quality of the workpiece, so that in many<br />

applications finishing operations are unnecessary.<br />

<strong>RF</strong>-LINE<br />

Surface finish quailty<br />

of 2-3 µm, requires no<br />

additional finishing<br />

operation in many cases<br />

• up to 60% higher in feed rates<br />

• vibration-free machining<br />

• increased surface finish quality (Ra = 2-3 µm)<br />

• small easy removable chips<br />

• less cutting pressure<br />

• vastly reduced horsepower consumption<br />

<strong>RF</strong> <strong>100</strong> F variable helix end mills for freecutting<br />

materials < 30 HRC<br />

We have developed the <strong>RF</strong> <strong>100</strong> end mill with variable spiral<br />

angle primarily to prevent chattering and the so-called<br />

corkscrew effect (as found when withdrawing tools having<br />

a large spiral angle)<br />

Milling cutters with internal coolant delivery offer a considerably<br />

longer tool life and higher feed rates compared<br />

to conventional tools. <strong>Guhring</strong> has designed the milling<br />

cutter’s radial coolant exit at an angle of 64º, offering considerable<br />

protection to the sensitive cutting edge corner.<br />

This coolant exit design also helps to prevent any built-up<br />

edge.<br />

<strong>RF</strong>-LINE<br />

Therefore, <strong>Guhring</strong>‘s <strong>RF</strong> <strong>100</strong> F variable helix end mills offer<br />

the following advantages:<br />

• up to 60% higher in feed rates<br />

• longer tool life<br />

• vibration-free machining<br />

Based on our 4-fluted <strong>RF</strong> <strong>100</strong> U end mill, <strong>RF</strong> <strong>100</strong> SF<br />

possesses a larger, more rigid core paired with 6 cutting<br />

edges. As well as fine finishing, the application range also<br />

includes semi-roughing operations, i.e. feed widths (ae) up<br />

to 0.3 x d.<br />

Thanks to its special geometry, <strong>RF</strong> <strong>100</strong> SF<br />

offers the following advantages:<br />

• high form accuracy<br />

• vibration-free<br />

• optimized flute profile<br />

• high feed rates possible<br />

• optimal surface finish quality<br />

• improved tool life<br />

<strong>Guhring</strong> grinds a small corner chamfer on all carbide end mills. The chamfer greatly increases<br />

end mill corner strength and tool life. Dead sharp corners on machined parts can lead to crack<br />

propagation and are rarely called out by part designers.<br />

Reconditioning<br />

We can restore used standard and special carbide and PCD drills, step drills, reamers, and end<br />

mills to their original factory quality, condition and performance. We also recoat in the same<br />

facility that we recondition, allowing for quicker turn-around and excellent quality control.<br />

Your investment in high-performance cutting tools is<br />

worth preserving. Extending a tool’s life through quality<br />

reconditioning can greatly increase both productivity and<br />

profitability.<br />

Utilizing the same high-precision CNC grinding machines<br />

that are used in <strong>Guhring</strong>’s manufacturing plants, our<br />

Reconditioning Division is well-equipped to restore standard<br />

and special carbide and PCD tooling to its original factory<br />

quality, condition and performance.<br />

recoated within 2 - 3 weeks.<br />

Durable plastic shipping totes<br />

are available for high-volume<br />

reconditioning customers.<br />

<strong>Guhring</strong>’s Reconditioning<br />

Division is staffed with its<br />

own customer service team,<br />

allowing for extraordinary and<br />

personalized service. Combined with our in-house coating<br />

chambers, our two U.S. locations – Brookfield, WI and<br />

New Hudson, MI – we are in a unique position to provide<br />

unmatched quality and service. Complimentary pickup and<br />

delivery is available to customers in southern WI, northern IL,<br />

and parts of MI and OH.<br />

This end mill arrived with heavy chipping on the flute end (left).<br />

<strong>Guhring</strong> Reconditioning restored a correct cutting edge (right).<br />

The result: Greatly extended tool life and significant cost savings.<br />

High precision remanufacturing delivers longer reground tool<br />

life and often more regrinds per tool, resulting in significant<br />

cost savings in terms of both tooling and machining expenses.<br />

<strong>Guhring</strong> is able to provide factory reconditioning for our<br />

own drills, step drills, end mills, reamers and taps – and we<br />

can provide the same high-quality service for competitors’<br />

tooling as well.<br />

Brookfield, WI<br />

New Hudson, MI<br />

With more than 50 years’ combined<br />

experience in reconditioning,<br />

<strong>Guhring</strong> welcomes the<br />

additional challenge<br />

of high-performance<br />

tools, and we are<br />

able to perform<br />

alterations such<br />

as corner radii and<br />

shank alterations.<br />
