The world of machining is changing: While some of us are working on ever-improving electric drives, others of us are striving to create lighter components to increase their efficiency. All of this means that the ISO-N group is currently considered one of the fastest growing material groups in the machining industry. The demand for specific tool solutions to achieve the best possible performance is also increasing in the micro-machining segment.
With the RF 100 AL Micro, Gühring has now created a true high-end tool for these materials. The micro-precision milling cutter meets all relevant requirements with its performance, process reliability, burr-free finish, and surface quality at the highest level. It achieves up to six times higher metal removal rates than its competitors in rough machining.
No more built-up edges
The RF 100 AL Micro has been specially developed for the high demands of machining ISO-N materials and offers exceptional performance and reliability. This allows the micro-precision milling cutter to strike the perfect balance between soft, adhesive aluminium materials and high-strength alloys. The tool consists of an ultra-fine carbide substrate, which offers the optimum ratio of hardness and toughness for this material group. In addition, the special, ultra-thin Carbo+ coating significantly increases performance and, in combination with the exclusive GühroJet internal cooling, prevents material adhesions and built-up edges due to significantly improved chip removal. The user thus benefits from higher application parameters, a longer tool life and improved surface quality. The specially developed geometry of the milling cutter with its dynamic flute profile offers optimum stability and maximum chip space, which also increases machining efficiency.
Tests show impressive results
In extensive tests and applications, the RF 100 AL Micro has delivered impressive results. When milling soft (3.3206/AlMgSi0.5) and also high-strength aluminium alloys (3.4365/AlZn5.5MgCu), the tool was able to achieve a reliable metal removal rate of up to 81.6 cm3, while competitor products achieved only 13.5 cm3. This corresponds to up to six times higher metal removal rates, which significantly increases production efficiency.

Another development focus was on high running smoothness. The tool shows no tendency to swing up during either roughing or finishing. This produces excellent, streak-free surfaces with burr-free transitions on the component. When finishing with a lateral infeed of less than 5 percent of the diameter, Ra values of 0.15 µm and above are to be expected, depending on the material, tooth feed and tool diameter.
The fields of application range from the electronics industry with the production of circuit boards, sensor carriers, heat sinks to precision engineering, joint bodies, rail and sliding technology, as well as connection elements or end caps. This versatility makes the RF 100 AL Micro an indispensable tool for companies involved in the micro-machining of ISO-N materials.
Broad product range
The portfolio of the RF 100 AL Micro includes four main types with a diameter range of 0.50 to 3.00 mm. The articles differ in corner radius and corner chamfer, as well as the length versions 2.5xD and 5.0xD cutting edge length. The variety of available diameter, length and corner radius or corner chamfer combinations allows the user to always select the most suitable tool for their specific requirements.
