Specifications: The document details specifications for drilling and milling tools, including solid carbide materials, surface finishes, and tool types. It includes information on tool dimensions and specific standards like DIN 6537 HA and DIN 6527L.
Procedures: Pre-conditions for tool use include powerful machines, accurate alignment, and high coolant pressure. Cooling method recommendations emphasize the use of soluble or neat oil, with MQL conditions suggested for certain tools.
Standards and Norms: Several DIN standards for tool specifications and tolerances are referenced, such as DIN 2184-1 and DIN 371 for taps and thread milling cutters.
Recommendations: Hydraulic or shrink fit chucks are recommended for optimal tool performance. The document suggests contacting Guhring for further information on MQL suitable equipment.
Data and Tables: Tables include feed rates and drilling depths for different materials and tool types, hardness values for various cast iron materials, and tensile strength data for different tool applications.
Critical Information: Key parameters include a maximum concentricity error of 0.02 mm for clamped tools and specific feed rates for different drill diameters. The importance of using the correct cooling method and tool holder for optimal performance is highlighted.
Application Recommendations: Tools with bold feed column numbers are preferred. Guidelines for using Ratio end mills for slot drilling emphasize optimal chip evacuation and proper clamping of the workpiece and tool.
Technical Specifications: Various tools and their specifications are listed, including tool material, surface finish, and cooling methods. The use of solid carbide tools with specific carbide grades and surface finishes like bright, TiN, and FIRE TiAIN is highlighted.
Material and Hardness: Details are provided for different material groups such as cast iron and spheroidal graphite, with corresponding hardness values. Material numbers according to DIN EN standards are specified.
Cutting Parameters: Cutting parameters such as cutting speed (vc) and feed rates (f) are outlined for different tool types and materials. Reamers with internal cooling and coating can have significantly increased cutting parameters.
Tool Life and Performance: An application example compares the performance of Guhring RT 100 T spiral deep hole drills with a competitor's single-flute gun drill, highlighting differences in cutting speed, feed rate, and tool life.
Tool Availability and Dimensions: Tables list the availability and dimensions of various tools, such as NC-machine chucking reamers and single-flute gun drills, with details on diameter, length, and number of flutes.
