Gühring introduces new stainless steel parting-off system

Gühring has expanded its grooving and parting-off to include a new grade with a blade width of 3mm for parting-off stainless steel materials. The System 222 expansion adds to the existing indexable inserts for steel materials. With two cutting edges and a length of 22mm, the new indexable insert is ideally suited for parting off the most common bar diameters.

The enhanced series also offers an extensive range of clamping holders with and without an internal coolant facility. As many production facilities use a mixture of steel and stainless steel materials, there has been an increase in the demand for stainless steel in particular. This has been created by elevated demand in the medical technology, automotive and general mechanical engineering sectors where machinists continually encounter stainless and other difficult-to-machine materials.
