Tools for punching sheet metal have to withstand a lot. Hago Feinwerktech\u00adnik GmbH therefore uses materials of up to 66 HRC in its own toolmak\u00ading facilities. In order to incorporate threads and contours into these ma\u00adterials, the company relies on cut\u00adting tools with complete process re\u00adliability. Here, two G\u00fchring tools not only impress with low wear, but also with considerable cost savings \u2013 a real competitive advantage for Hago.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”3_4,1_4″ module_class=”gue-page-header” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”3_4″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/guehring.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Blog_Headergrafik_Dezember_2022_Hago.jpg” alt=”Formenbau bei Hago” title_text=”Formenbau bei Hago” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_4″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row module_class=”gue-row-text” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.19.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]Almost no other sector has to deal with as much cost and competitive pressure as mould and die. Paul Preiser, who is in charge of component production at Hago Feinwerktechnik<\/a>, is well aware of this: \u201cWe are always interested in alternative solutions and try to be involved at an early stage in new technologies in order to secure a competi\u00adtive advantage for the company.\u201d Like about 50% of companies in the field of mould and die, Hago deals with sheet metal processing. Based in K\u00fcssaberg (Waldshut district), the company produces sheet met\u00adal parts for the automotive industry using punching technology.<\/p>\n When Paul Preiser took over his department a few years ago, he no\u00adticed that there were huge costs in the field of cutting tools. His first step: To get things in order. \u201cI was looking for a way to bring a more systematic approach to the tool management field,\u201d he recalls. He then came across some tool management cabinets from G\u00fchring at another local company.<\/p>\n Today, three of these tool cabinets ensure that all cutting tools are organised, locked and stored in their draw\u00aders with controlled dispensing. But that was just the beginning. He then started to anal\u00adyse the cutting tools: \u201cWhere can we make improvements? What tools can we do with\u00adout?\u201d For him, it was clear what was need ed: He wanted Hago to use tools that were specially made for mould and die.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_3,1_3,1_3″ make_equal=”on” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ module_class=”gue-quotebox-3col-column” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_blurb image=”https:\/\/guehring.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Preiser_Paul.jpg” alt=”Paul Preiser, Komponentenfertigung, Hago” _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” background_image=”https:\/\/guehring.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/GUE_website-pikto_zitat.svg” hover_enabled=”0″ locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]\u201cWe are always interested in alternative solutions and try to be involved at an early stage in new technologies in order to secure a competi\u00adtive advantage for the company.\u201c<\/p>\n Paul Preiser<\/strong> Punching tools are subject to high require\u00adments as they are used on presses with a pressing force of up to 1200 tonnes and must guarantee reliable, stable and reproducible processes. Hago therefore relies on steels with degrees of hardness between 56 and 66 HRC (e.g. cold work steel 1.2379 and powder steel). Howev\u00ader, it was precisely this variety of materials that posed difficulties for the employees in the toolmaking department. For example, a competitor\u2019s thread milling cutter performed well in one material, but on an alloy with 66 HRC it eroded the teeth away \u2013 literally. After just four threads, the gauge was no longer accurate.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”2_5,3_5″ module_id=”5″ module_class=”gue-row-vertical-aligned-content gue-row-2col-image-text” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”2_5″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/guehring.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/GUE_bohrgewindefraeser-mtmh3.jpg” alt=”Zirkularer Bohrgewindefr\u00e4ser MTMH3-Z von G\u00fchring” title_text=”Zirkularer Bohrgewindefr\u00e4ser MTMH3-Z von G\u00fchring” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”3_5″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]This is where G\u00fchring and its micro thread milling cutter came in: Its coating is specially devel\u00adoped for hard machining in mould and die. This was reflected in the tool life in particular: The G\u00fchring thread milling cutter created twelve threads instead of just three. As a result, Hago saves three times as much on tool costs: Firstly, because less wear reduces the need for tools, secondly because all materials can now be ma\u00adchined with just one tool and thirdly, because the thread milling cutter is a combination tool which produces the core hole and thread in one step and without a tool change cycle. \u201cFor us, the focus was on the cost aspect,\u201d says Paul Prei\u00adser. \u201cWe have achieved cost savings of around 20% using the G\u00fchring thread mill\u00ading cutter for this machining operation.\u201d Today, the tool is used for all threads in the field of hard metals at Hago.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row module_class=”gue-row-text” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.19.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”3_5,2_5″ module_class=”gue-row-vertical-aligned-content gue-row-2col-image-text” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”3_5″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/guehring.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Bauteil-1.jpg” alt=”Die Fr\u00e4ser wurden an einem Test-Bauteil aus Stahl getestet” title_text=”Die Fr\u00e4ser wurden an einem Test-Bauteil aus Stahl getestet” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”2_5″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]But this is not the only machining operation at Hago for which G\u00fchring was able to offer a more economical alternative: \u201cA competitor\u2019s product was used for hard milling,\u201d recalls Oliver Mattes, who has been advising Hago as a sales representative for over ten years. \u201cBut we were convinced that we could do better.\u201d Hago agreed to a test and was able to mill pockets with a target depth of 35 mm. The challenge? Despite the very hard mate\u00adrial with 62 HRC, it exceeded the tool life of the competitor\u2019s tool. G\u00fchring engineers had an ace up their sleeve here, too. A car\u00adbide developed especially for mould and die that is significantly finer and 200 HV harder. This ultra-hard substrate guarantees very good edge stability and, with it, pro\u00adcess-reliable tool life in hard machining.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row module_class=”gue-row-text” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.19.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]The result is a completely new tool solution for mould and die: With its innovative high-feed design, the HPC radius milling cut\u00adter G-Mold 65 HF ensures max\u00adimum feed rates at low cutting depths. Central internal coolant ducts increase process reli\u00adability when roughing hard ma\u00adterials up to 65 HRC and deep cavities. This has also been demonstrated at Hago: With the G-Mold 65 HF, G\u00fchring reached the target depth of 35 mm in 84 minutes. Despite high cutting values, the tool showed little wear after machining. Once the milling cutters have reached the end of their tool life, Hago has them re-ground direct\u00adly at G\u00fchring to save tool costs.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row module_class=”gue-row-text” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.19.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”3_5,2_5″ module_class=”gue-row-vertical-aligned-content gue-row-2col-image-text” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”3_5″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/guehring.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Hago_Bild_klein.jpg” alt=”Die Zerspanungsabteilung bei Hago” title_text=”Die Zerspanungsabteilung bei Hago” align=”center” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”2_5″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]G\u00fchring and Hago have far from reached the end of their search for economic alter\u00adnatives. \u201cFurther tests will definitely follow,\u201d promises Oliver Mattes. At each of his vis\u00adits, he and Paul Preiser think about which machining operations can still be optimised with the help of G\u00fchring. Paul Preiser also appreciates this successful collaboration: \u201cIt is important for us to have a partner that we know personally and with whom we can draw on shared experience.\u201d He found such a partner in G\u00fchring. \u201cWe are very happy with our relationship with G\u00fchring.
