The new Guhring 222 system of grooving and parting-off tools incorporates an extensive line of indexable inserts and tool holders to ensure suitability for all material types and applications. Guhring’s 222 designation derives from the tool’s two cutting edges with an effective depth of cut up to 22 mm. The 222 system is available with a tool holder or as a blade type to suit the demands of the end user.

Notably, the dedicated nickel-plated tool holder extends tool life and longevity, with three internal channels to suit the specific set-up of the machine and coolant supply. High-pressure coolant delivery supplies the work zone via two channels positioned above and below the cutting edge. This design increases tool life and performance, while supporting chip breaking and evacuation.

The tool holders are available in left- and right-hand designation, with tool body dimensions from 12 x 12 mm to 25 x 25 mm, making the 222 system suitable for everything from small compact turning centres and sliding-head machines, through to large, more robust machine tools. Tool holders are available in overall body lengths from 108 to 152 mm, depending upon the tool selected. Rigidity and performance receive a further boost thanks to a tool design that incorporates a new clamping screw design and insert support, which guarantees maximum insert clamping torque and stability during machining.

Like the tool-holder designation, the nickel-plated blade-type tool holder is available with and without through-coolant, with a blade length of 120 or 150 mm, a height of 26 or 32 mm and a width of 2.25 mm depending upon the selected tool.
