PCD Indexable-Inserts
One essential benefit of the ISO elements is that they save costs on refurbishing the tools.
The cutting inserts can be replaced right at the customer’s site. This also reduces the
costs per component.

MANUFACTURER EXPERTISE
Gühring has been involved in the development and production of PCD and
PCBN-tipped tools for over 35 years. Since its establishment, this business
division has developed into one of the core strengths of the Swabian tool
manufacturer. As a pioneer in the production of drilling tools, Gühring has
gradually tapped into all machining types, from milling and threading to
reaming and turning, and has become known for its expertise as a
complete supplier.
SERVICE
Our service extends far beyond the production of our tools. We will offer
you support for the entire service life of your tools, if you wish. Extensive
services and after sales support such as tool management and refur-
bishing (re-sharpening and re-tipping) in original quality are included in
our offer. Tool supply, comprehensive logistics, a worldwide network of
service centres: we do everything to ensure that you can use our tools
as profitably as possible.

| CHIPBREAKER FUNCTION
The chipbreaker is a shoulder behind the main cutting edge. Precisely firing the
produced chip at the cutting and redirection surface reliably breaks up the chip and
removes it from the component.

Higher-grade CBN > 80 %: Cast iron machining
• Due to the carbon‘s high affinity for iron,
ferrous materials cannot be machined despite
the high level of hardness. As a result of chemical
diffusion wear and the formation of iron carbide,
machining materials under the influence of
pressure and temperature would cause the PCD
cutting edge to wear out prematurely.
This issue can be solved by using PCBN.

Tool materials PCD and PCBN
When machining material, the cutting materials are generally for as long as possible. PCD and PCBN are ultra-hard cutting
subject to extreme loads such as heat, impacts, or abrasive materials offering high performance on account of their
and chemical influences, in particular on the cutting edges. impressive properties with respect to hardness, toughness,
Therefore, the cutter must be able to withstand these influences resistance to thermal shock, and chemical resistance.
