Guhring is presenting a range of cutting tool innovations at MACH 2026 (NEC Birmingham, 20-24 April) on stand 20-362. Alongside established milling, threading and drilling ranges, the company is highlighting new product lines, including its PCD and micro tool portfolio.

A key exhibit is the System 208 grooving platform, developed for sliding-head lathes and the machining of complex micro-turned components. Featuring indexable, precision-ground inserts with two cutting edges, the system delivers high accuracy in confined spaces, making it well suited to medical, electronics and micro-component applications. With a maximum grooving depth of 8 mm, it supports parting off, grooving and turning operations. Field trials have demonstrated tool life improvements of up to 30%, while a high-precision interface ensures repeatable insert positioning with changeover accuracy of ±0.015 mm.

Also on show is the FT 200 U solid-carbide drill. This three-fluted design enables cost-efficient drilling up to 12xD without pilot drilling, thanks to its pyramid tip geometry and optimised web thinning for precise self-centring and strong material penetration. A modified flute profile improves chip control, while the Spiropoint geometry enhances spot drilling accuracy. The result is high hole quality and extended tool life across a wide diameter and length range.

Complementing the drilling portfolio is the RT 100 U step drill, designed to produce holes with a 90° countersink in a single operation, reducing tooling requirements and associated costs. The Pionex thread milling range is also on the stand, offering expanded geometries and coatings to suit diverse threading applications.

Guhring is additionally demonstrating its GTMS-enabled tool management systems, providing secure, efficient storage and dispensing to support productivity on the shop floor.
