Guhring has developed the RF 100 end mill with variable
helix angle primarily to prevent chattering and the so-called
corkscrew effect (as found when withdrawing tools having
a large helix angle).
The RF 100 U is a universal design for a wide range of materi-
als and applications. This design is an excellent choice for job
shops and manufacturers who mill a variety of materials.
The variable helix angle also offers the following additional
advantages:
Variable helix end mills RF 100 U for materials < 54 HRC
A cutting force comparison between a conventional type N and a RF 100
variable helix end mill clearly shows the RF 100 end mills quieter and more
stable machining characteristics.

When ordering: EDP no. = Series + Order no., example: 3867 12.700
RF 100 U/HF variable helix roughing /
finishing end mills for materials < 54 HRC
up to 60% higher in feed rates
vibration-free machining
increased surface finish quality (Ra = 2-3 m)
small easy removable chips
less cutting pressure
vastly reduced horsepower consumption
Based on our standard RF 100 end mills, we have developed
a new series of variable-helix end mills with a completely
new designed roughing profile.
The result is a drastic increase in tool life compared to con-
ventional knuckle-type geometries and an improvement
in surface finish-quality of the workpiece, so that in many
applications finishing operations are unnecessary.

RF 100 F variable helix end mills for free-
cutting materials < 30 HRC
up to 60% higher in feed rates
longer tool life
vibration-free machining
suitable for roughing and finishing
increased surface finish quality
We have developed the RF 100 end mill with variable spi-
ral angle primarily to prevent chattering and the so-called
corkscrew effect (as found when withdrawing tools having
a large spiral angle)
Therefore, Guhrings RF 100 F variable helix end mills offer
the following advantages:
Milling cutters with internal coolant delivery offer a con-
siderably longer tool life and higher feed rates compared
to conventional tools. Guhring has designed the milling
cutters radial coolant exit at an angle of 64, offering con-
siderable protection to the sensitive cutting edge corner.
This coolant exit design also helps to prevent any built-up
edge.
Optimal chip evacuation thanks
to 64 radial coolant exit.

Milling cutters with internal cooling achieve a 2/3 longer tool life in com-
parison with conventional milling cutters.

RF 100 VA/NF variable helix roughing /
finishing end mills for stainless steels
up to 60% higher in feed rates
vibration-free machining
increased surface finish quality
small easy removable chips
less cutting preasure
vastly reduced horsepower consumption
Based on our standard RF 100 end mills, we have developed
a new series of variable-helix end mills with a completely
new designed roughing profile for stainless steel.
The result is a drastic increase in tool life compared to con-
ventional knuckle-type geometries and an improvement in
surface finish-quality of the workpiece, so that in many ap-
plications finishing operations are unnecessary.

RF 100 Ti variable helix end mills
for titanium and nickel alloys
We have developed the RF 100 end mill with variable spi-
ral angle primarily to prevent chattering and the so-called
corkscrew effect (as found when withdrawing tools having
a large spiral angle)
The RF 100 Ti is especially designed for titanium and other
aerospace alloys, and has a totally new corner radius design
for increased tool life and highest metal removal rates.
High wear protection thanks to radius geometry with constant rake angle
and continuous spiral.
Seamless radius area provides high form and contour accuracy.
The special features of Guhrings milling cutters with
corner radius are:
outside diameter and the radius is ground in one pass
radius point geometry with constant helix-radius
correction

optimized web thinning
and flute profile
Based on our 4-fluted RF 100 U end mill, RF 100 SF
possesses a larger, more rigid core paired with 6 cutting
edges. As well as fine finishing, the application range also
includes semi-roughing operations, i.e. feed widths (ae) up
to 0.3 x d.
Thanks to its special geometry, RF 100 SF
offers the following advantages:
high form accuracy
vibration-free
optimized flute profile
high feed rates possible
optimal surface finish quality
improved tool life

RF 100 style end mills - corner chamfer data
Chamfer Width
45 Chamfer
Guhring grinds a small corner chamfer on all carbide end mills. The chamfer greatly increases
end mill corner strength and tool life. Dead sharp corners on machined parts can lead to crack
propagation and are rarely called out by part designers.
The chamfer width on RF 100 style end mills is detailed in the charts below:

Your investment in high-performance cutting tools is
worth preserving. Extending a tools life through quality
reconditioning can greatly increase both productivity and
profitability.
Utilizing the same high-precision CNC grinding machines
that are used in Guhrings manufacturing plants, our
Reconditioning Division is well-equipped to restore standard
and special carbide and PCD tooling to its original factory
quality, condition and performance.
High precision remanufacturing delivers longer reground tool
life and often more regrinds per tool, resulting in significant
cost savings in terms of both tooling and machining expenses.
Guhring is able to provide factory reconditioning for our
own drills, step drills, end mills, reamers and taps and we
can provide the same high-quality service for competitors
tooling as well.
With more than 50 years combined
experience in reconditioning,
Guhring welcomes the
additional challenge
of high-performance
tools, and we are
able to perform
alterations such
as corner radii and
shank alterations.
Round shank tools
from 3 to 32 mm in diameter
are normally able to be reground and
