At Guhring, our mission is to provide customers with the means to take cost out of machining
production components by improving machine process times and product quality.
Guhring, Inc. is a subsidiary of Guehring oHG, headquartered in Albstadt, Germany. Globally,
Guehring employs over 4,500 people. The Brookfield, WI manufacturing plant and corporate
headquarters employs more than 250 people. Additional resources include our warehouse in
Huntington Beach, CA, and a manufacturing facility in Detroit, MI.
In order to better serve our customers needs, Guhring offers a full range of special tool design/
manufacturing capabilities in our USA manufacturing plants. Our engineers can take blueprint
part concepts and design specialized tools in high speed steel, carbide and even PCD which
combine multiple manufacturing operations and reduce production costs. Guhring has the
capability to manufacture special drill, reamer, end mill and countersink tools; solid or coolant fed.
Guhring also offers a full reconditioning service that can recondition special and standard
drill points, end mills and reamers to their original specifications. In addition, Guhrings
reconditioning service can provide tool modifications such as end mill corner radius and
chamfers quickly and accurately.
Our coatings division offers superior PVD coatings for cutting tools and wear parts. Guhring
offers traditional TiN, TiCN and TiAlN coatings, as well as high performance proprietary coatings
such as FIREX

Guhring has developed the RF 100 end mill with variable
helix angle primarily to prevent chattering and the so-called
corkscrew effect (as found when withdrawing tools having
a large helix angle).
The RF 100 U is a universal design for a wide range of materi-
als and applications. This design is an excellent choice for job
shops and manufacturers who mill a variety of materials.
The variable helix angle also offers the following additional
advantages:
Variable helix end mills RF 100 U for materials < 54 HRC
A cutting force comparison between a conventional type N and a RF 100
variable helix end mill clearly shows the RF 100 end mills quieter and more
stable machining characteristics.

We have developed the RF 100 end mill with variable spi-

corkscrew effect (as found when withdrawing tools having
a large spiral angle)
Therefore, Guhrings RF 100 F variable helix end mills offer
the following advantages:
Milling cutters with internal coolant delivery offer a con-
siderably longer tool life and higher feed rates compared
to conventional tools. Guhring has designed the milling
cutters radial coolant exit at an angle of 64, offering con-
siderable protection to the sensitive cutting edge corner.
This coolant exit design also helps to prevent any built-up
edge.
Optimal chip evacuation thanks
to 64 radial coolant exit.

parison with conventional milling cutters.

Milling stainless steel presents some unique challenges.
Guhring developed the RF 100 VA style variable helix end
mill to have greater tool life and performance in stainless
steels.
RF 100 VA style end mills feature Guhrings newest high-
performance coating, nano-A
TM
. This micro-layer coating
has the superior heat and wear resistance that is needed
when milling stainless steels.
This end mill design also allows these benefits:

RF 100 Ti variable helix end mills
for titanium and nickel alloys
We have developed the RF 100 end mill with variable spi-
ral angle primarily to prevent chattering and the so-called
corkscrew effect (as found when withdrawing tools having
a large spiral angle)
The RF 100 Ti is especially designed for titanium and other
aerospace alloys, and has a totally new corner radius design
for increased tool life and highest metal removal rates.
High wear protection thanks to radius geometry with constant rake angle
and continuous spiral.
Seamless radius area provides high form and contour accuracy.
The special features of Guhrings milling cutters with
corner radius are:
outside diameter and the radius is ground in one pass
radius point geometry with constant helix-radius
correction

optimized web thinning
and flute profile
Based on our 4-fluted RF 100 U end mill, RF 100 SF
possesses a larger, more rigid core paired with 6 cutting
edges. As well as fine finishing, the application range also
includes semi-roughing operations, i.e. feed widths (ae) up
to 0.3 x d.
Thanks to its special geometry, RF 100 SF
offers the following advantages:
high form accuracy
vibration-free
optimized flute profile
high feed rates possible
optimal surface finish quality
improved tool life
