Guhring RT100
Guhring RT100 is a Guhring tooling system used in solid carbide drilling. RT100 and ADO are broad solid-carbide drill families rather than single identical tools. Both include coolant-fed high-performance and deep-hole variants, but their published product families emphasize different geometries, coatings, material-specific versions and depth ranges.
Product system overview
Guhring RT100 is a Guhring tooling system used in solid carbide drilling. RT100 and ADO are broad solid-carbide drill families rather than single identical tools. Both include coolant-fed high-performance and deep-hole variants, but their published product families emphasize different geometries, coatings, material-specific versions and depth ranges.
Industries and applications
- Use RT100 when a Guhring material-specific or depth-specific series directly matches the application.
- Guhring’s broad drill program can be advantageous where coating, reconditioning and custom-tool support are already standardized.
- Follow the published pilot and entry procedure for long RT100 drills.
Published technical profile
- Family structure: RT100 includes general-purpose, high-performance, deep-hole and material-specific drills across Guhring’s round-tool program.
- Deep-hole strategy: RT100 deep-hole variants use dedicated pilot-hole procedures and are offered in long depth ratios depending on series.
- Coolant and chip evacuation: Coolant-fed RT100 series and specialized flute designs are selected by material and depth.
- Material specialization: Dedicated RT100 versions are published for steels, cast iron, high-temperature and nickel alloys, among other materials.
- Selection discipline: The exact RT100 suffix and series determine geometry, coating, coolant and depth capability.
Selection notes
Use RT100 when a Guhring material-specific or depth-specific series directly matches the application.
Guhring’s broad drill program can be advantageous where coating, reconditioning and custom-tool support are already standardized.
Follow the published pilot and entry procedure for long RT100 drills.
Select the exact RT100 or ADO variant from material and depth first. Neither family is universally broader in every application; the meaningful comparison is between two identified series at the same diameter, depth and coolant condition.
Variables to validate
- A family-name comparison is insufficient: exact series, diameter, depth ratio and material must be identified.
- Deep-hole drills may require pilot tools, entry procedures and minimum coolant pressure.
- Runout, coolant flow and chip evacuation usually dominate small-diameter tool life.
