Volume milling <\/span>
\nThis solid carbide milling cutter puts an end to vibrations<\/span><\/h1>\n

Experiencing vibrations during milling? This was a huge problem for a Japanese manufacturer of guitar parts: The long protruding tools started rattling during machining and led to a poor component finish. G\u00fchring had the solution: The RF 100 Speed does not only stand out thanks to its high running smoothness, but also thanks to 25 percent longer tool lives.

Meanwhile, an electric guitar is screaming in the background: The notes are vibrating, resulting in quite a painful sound. Guitarists create this special lamentation effect by pulling a metal lever on the instrument\u2019s lower tailpiece. This small movement changes the tension of the guitar strings, thereby adjusting the pitch.[\/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\/09\/GUE_gotho-bearbeitung-bauteil.jpg” alt=”Das Bauteil auf der Maschine” title_text=”Das Bauteil auf der Maschine” _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=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

So the aim of the component known as the vibrato arm is to make the music vibrate. Quite in contrast, vibrations are the last thing that are wanted during the production of this vibrato system. However, they were precisely the reason why Gotoh Gut Co. in Japan were experiencing problems. Since its creation in 1960, the company has made a name for itself on the global market. Nowadays, metal parts for string instruments are produced on eight machining centres and 28 CNC lathes. One of these products is a steel (SS400) vibrato block.<\/p>\n

Protruding tools rattle during roughing<\/h2>\n

At Gotoh, the component\u2019s lateral contour is finished on a vertical machining centre with external cooling, requiring a very high cutting depth of 42 mm. This can only be achieved with a long protruding tool\u2013 but this presents it own problems: During machining, the tool starts rattling, resulting in a poor component finish. A competitor relied on a five-fluted milling tool<\/a>, but the rattling was too strong and machining had to be stopped. \u201cThe surface quality was not good due to the long tool length and the slight occurrence of rattling marks\u201d, recalls Yoshiyuki Yamada, a G\u00fchring sales representative. \u201cThe customer asked us to solve this problem.\u201d<\/p>\n

The solid carbide end mill is particularly well known for its high rigidity, which G\u00fchring achieves through a coordinated flute profile with a high core factor. This enables the milling cutter to absorb the vibrations when milling. The RF 100 Speed also features a high helix of 48\u00b0 and an unequal blade pitch \u2013 both of which promote a smooth, quiet cut.<\/p>\n

Because only four cutting edges are used, there a fewer cutting edges in contact with the workpiece than in the competitor\u2019s five-fluted concept; this significantly reduces radial forces and thus the creation of vibrations. The long design of the tool features chip breakers to cut the chips down to short lengths, ensuring smooth chip removal during high-performance machining.<\/p>\n

Outdoing the competition in high-volume milling<\/h2>\n

Working in collaboration with Gotoh, our technical sales team opted for high-speed cutting with the RF 100 Speed, as this is the best way to produce the best surface finish. More than twice the cutting speed and a 20 percent higher feed rate are now achieved when machining the vibrato block. At the same time, the RF 100 Speed impresses with significantly longer tool lives than the competitor\u2019s tool: Using a G\u00fchring milling cutter, the customer is now able to produce 25 percent more components than before.[\/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 alt=”Philipp Kunze” _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” background_image=”https:\/\/guehring.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/GUE_website-pikto_zitat.svg” global_colors_info=”{}”]”Our tool immediately ensured a reliable process.”<\/p>\n
