Guhring RT 100 Al

Product system overview

Guhring RT 100 Al is a solid-carbide drill platform for aluminum and other nonferrous applications. Guhring publishes separate series for 3xD, 5xD, 7xD, and deeper configurations, so series, EDP number, diameter, depth ratio, point geometry, coolant path, and shank must remain attached to the tool record.

Industries and applications

• Production drilling in aluminum where polished functional surfaces and internal coolant support chip evacuation and built-up-edge control.
• Short- and medium-depth holes using the exact 3xD, 5xD, or 7xD series and current item-level cutting data.
• Metric and inch production holes where the Guhring series, code, and EDP identity are retained for replenishment.

Technical and quote details

• Official Series 6062, 5768, and 6063 are published as 3xD, 5xD, and 7xD RT 100 Al carbide drills with coolant through, an HA shank, and a 140-degree point.
• Guhring describes optimized cutting-edge geometry, a relieved cone, a slightly concave main cutting edge, sharp cutting characteristics, and polished functional surfaces.
• Series 5768 item records publish both metric and fractional sizes and expose Guhring series, code, and EDP identifiers.
• Longer micro-precision and deep-hole RT 100 Al branches use different point geometry, coating, and depth ratios and must remain separate configurations.
• Final diameter, flute length, overall length, shank, coolant, speeds, feeds, and pilot procedure are item specific.

• Published catalog reference: Series 5768 - RT 100 Al, 5xD, coolant through, 140-degree point
• Published catalog reference: Series 6063 - RT 100 Al, 7xD, coolant through, 140-degree point
• Published catalog reference: EDP 9057680063500 / Series 5768 / Code 6.35 - 1/4-inch RT 100 Al
• Published catalog reference: EDP 9057680095200 / Series 5768 / Code 9.52 - 3/8-inch RT 100 Al

Selection notes

Store the Guhring series, code, EDP number, diameter, L/D, point angle, shank, coolant configuration, and current cutting-data source as separate searchable fields.

Treat movement between RT 100 Al depth branches as a reviewed application change rather than an automatic substitution.

Variables to validate

• RT 100 Al is not one interchangeable drill; 3xD, 5xD, 7xD, micro-precision, and deep-hole series have distinct geometry and operating requirements.
• Do not transfer a diameter, EDP number, point angle, coating, pilot sequence, or cutting data between depth branches without current item-level evidence.
• Published family features do not replace verification of machine coolant pressure, runout, entry and exit conditions, chip evacuation, holder condition, and work material.
