Mould and die

The new G-Mold 65B series of high-precision 2 and 4-flute ball nose cutters for machining up to 65HRc incorporate a radius contour tolerance of ±0.005mm to ensure component contour accuracy and repeatability, with a centre cutting geometry, 25 degree flute and neck clearance for extended reach applications. Available in diameters from 0.2 to 12mm with a reach from 9 to 75mm depending upon the variant selected, the G-Mold 65B is suitable for hard materials, cast iron and steel machining where optimum performance, tool life and surface finishes are a necessity. Alongside the G-Mold 65B series in the catalogue, is the new G-Mold 55B series. More of an allrounder, the G-Mold 55B is suitable for machining steel, stainless steel, cast iron, super- alloys and hard materials up to 55HRc. Like the G-Mold 65B, the G-Mold 55B is available from 0.5 to 12mm diameter with neck clearance and a

centre cutting geometry.

For mould tool companies that demand the epitome of high-performance cutting, the G-Mold 65 HF high-feed series has been developed for high-feed roughing with low depths of cut and maximum feed rates to optimise metal removal rate. Presented in diameters from 1 to 16mm, the G-Mold 65 HF high-feed series incorporates Guhring’s Guhrojet peripheral cooling from 1 to 3mm diameter with central through coolant for 4mm diameter and above. With a corner radius and optimised tool geometry, the 4-flute end mills can perform high- feed rates on all material types. n
