Guhring RF100Ti end-mills suit aerospace applications

The 'RF100Ti Aircraft' range is designed for the cutting of high tensile titanium alloys and other materials specific to the aerospace sector. According to the company, RF100Ti Aircraft cutters are suitable for slotting, ramping, plunging, trochoidal milling and orbital drilling.

These solid carbide tools come with the choice of Guhring's TiAlN Super-A coating or the new Zenit coating technology with its reduced adhesion characteristics. Available in diameters of 6, 8, 10, 12, 16, 20 and 25 mm, the smaller tool diameters have the choice of six corner radii from 0.5 to 2 mm, whereas the 16, 20 and 25 mm tools have a choice of eight corner radii from 0.5 to 5 mm.

Guhring says that RF100 Ti Aircraft end mills can rough machine TiAl6V4 grade titanium at a rate of 36 cm³/min with a tool life in excess of 135 minutes.
