Milling Cutter Handles High-Precision Moldmaking Requirements
Guhring offers industry the G-Mold µ line of cutters, which can withstand the challenge of machining mold materials with a high degree of flexibility and precision.
To meet exacting mold tolerance surface finish standards, moldmakers must rely on highly precise cutting tools and complex machining techniques. Guhring Inc.’s new G-Mold line of high-precision milling cutters offers a significant advantage in meeting these demanding requirements.
Recognizing that moldmaking often involves machining high-strength and hardened tool steels, Guhring has developed a carbide substrate which can withstand the challenges of machining these materials. The very hard, ultra-fine grain substrate ensures optimal edge stability and reliable tool life during the machining process. Additionally, Guhring’s new Perrox coating enables smooth tool surfaces and highly wear-resistant cutting edges.
Guhring’s specialized tool geometry, combined with a distinctive carbide substrate and advanced coating system, provides the ideal solution for machining hardened tool steels up to 65 HRC with precision and performance.
The new G-Mold line provides an expansive offering of ball nose cutters, torus cutters, high-feed mills, finish milling cutters and micromilling cutters. With tool diameters ranging down to 0.2 mm, and cutter form tolerances held within 10 µm, Guhring offers a high degree of flexibility while maintaining extreme precision.
