Maximum flexibility
How our modular threading tools increase your cost-effectiveness
Carbide tools ensure high cycle times, but high speed steel is cheaper and the first choice on legacy machines or systems with a poor clamping setup. Gühring combines both advantages of these cutting materials in one tool by screwing a carbide head onto an HSS shank. The result? A modular system for new fluteless taps.
Gühring presents the solution to this problem: fluteless taps that combine wear resistance with toughness. The concept consists of a steel shank (HSS-E) and an exchangeable thread head made of carbide with an AICrN coating. Both components are connected via a screw.
Compared to a threading tool made of HSS-E, the carbide thread head both reduces cycle time and increases tool life – even under less than ideal conditions. And because the steel shank makes the tool cheaper than monolithic solid carbide tools, the customer benefits from a double cost advantage.
Can be combined for a wide range of machining operations
Another major advantage of this modular system is its high degree of flexibility: Depending on the component requirements, two different shank lengths can be combined with carbide heads for all thread sizes between M12 and M24. As a result, the tool is also suitable for the production of larger dimensions and longer designs. And if a thread head wears out, the tool shank can still be used up to eight times.
Hirth serrations act as an interface between the shank and the head, absorbing the torsional load and ensuring perfect concentricity and high torque transmission. The torque is also reduced by the tool’s special polygon shape and the AICrN coating.
With the modular fluteless tap, threads can be reliably produced in steel, stainless steel, cast materials and even special alloys.

Maximum tool lives in aluminium
How real progress emerges from challenges is demonstrated by Dörr together with Gühring: By using the PKD Diver from Gühring, the company from Sankt Augustin quadruples tool life, reduces tooling costs, and elevates the surface quality of its components to a new level.
System 208 enhances stability
Unattended night shifts without risk: Veile Feindrehteile significantly increases process reliability and tool life in stainless steel machining with System 208. The result: stable processes, less scrap, and more cost-efficient production.
Mastering VA threads with ease
Decommissioning nuclear power plants demands maximum precision—especially for stainless steel threads. Weisser Bärwinkel relies on Gühring’s Pionex to master even tough materials. The result: more stable processes, longer tool life, and higher productivity.
