Post-processing operations can be eliminated with System 222. Guhring’s cutting geometries for steel, stainless steel and cast iron are sintered right into the inserts. The standard offering includes 2mm and 3mm wide inserts in left, right and neutral versions; a single-sided insert version allows for even deeper reach. Blade-style and square shank holders are available with and without internal coolant.

- coolant
coolant
Fluid that reduces temperature buildup at the tool/workpiece interface during machining. Normally takes the form of a liquid such as soluble or chemical mixtures (semisynthetic, synthetic) but can be pressurized air or other gas. Because of water’s ability to absorb great quantities of heat, it is widely used as a coolant and vehicle for various cutting compounds, with the water-to-compound ratio varying with the machining task. See cutting fluid; semisynthetic cutting fluid; soluble-oil cutting fluid; synthetic cutting fluid.
- shank
shank
Main body of a tool; the portion of a drill or similar end-held tool that fits into a collet, chuck or similar mounting device.
