Welcome to Rainford Precision

Biggest news to start 2013 off is our new distributor agreement with Hartmetall-Werkzeugfabrik Andreas Maier GmbH known globally as “HAM”.   As a tool manufacturing company based near Ulm in Southern Germany, HAM is renowned for quality tools in the aerospace and automotive industries. The benefit they bring to our product portfolio is the increase in the diameter range which complements our existing principals’ tool ranges. Importantly there are an additional 120 new products that we can offer to provide solutions to manufacturing problems.

NEW – 31 ranges of HAM through coolant drills

With drill points for specific materials such as hardened steel, stainless steel, aluminium etc. and flute lengths from 3xD, 5xD, 8xD, 12xD, 15xD, 20xD, 25xD up to 30 and 40xD on special ranges.  For real high volume production we can offer PCD drills with through coolant.  Our through coolant drill range is from 1 mm diameter up to 22 mm diameter.

NEW – over 50 new ranges of HAM carbide milling tools

Available with a diameter range from 0.2 mm up to 32 mm, and a wide variety of endmill geometries and coatings for roughing and finishing in different materials.

NEW – HAM PCD tooling and specials

Available as drills, endmills and special form tools our tools can be made specifically to requirements – please ask for information.

NEW – Rainford manufactured endmills for aluminium

With corner radius and square form, 2 ranges of endmills have been specifically developed with a double coating, the first to harden the cutting edge and the second to provide an anti-friction surface to get the swarf out of the flutes quickly and eliminate build up on the cutting edges.

SAMURAI range of endmills

Competitively priced and capable of machining up to 55 HRC, this new range of endmills is available in ballnose, corner radius and square geometries (1 to 12 mm diameter).

Sliding head machine users
Are taking benefits by the introduction of a number of new micro machining products including, spotting drills (from 0.15 mm dia.), through coolant drills (from 1.0 mm dia.) and boring bars (from 0.4 mm), but more importantly our standard and special diameters for brass, from 0.06 mm up to 3.0 mm our tool geometry has been able to solve problems by not producing burrs.

Aerospace
Our technical capability to machine heat resistant nickel alloys with endmills having variable tooth spacing and variable helix angles giving excellent tool life and improved surface finishes has been extended with the CFB (more diameters) and the new CFLB (0.6-6.0 mm dia.) ballnose and CXS (3-16 mm dia.) ranges.

Toolmakers
Wishing to machine harder steels with improved tool life should look at the new range of HSB (1-12 mm dia.) and HSLB (0.3-6 mm dia.) ballnose endmills.  The change in geometry on the ballnose gash to a negative rake makes quite a difference.  Additionally the HLRS4000 series (1-6 mm dia) of corner radius endmills with variable tooth spacing, wide variety of radiuses per cutter diameter as well as incremental clearance lengths can assist both roughing and finishing operations.

NEW KERN MICRO machining centre
In 5 axis configuration this 350 x 220 mm compact machining centre has a standard tool magazine with 101 positions (with option of 209), a 500-50,000 rpm HSK25 spindle, laser tool measurement system, component touch probe and the ability to easily link in to an external workpiece changer, and yet is only 1.5 m wide!  Also available with an HSK40 spindle with through the tool coolant and a speed range of 500 -42,000 rpm.

KERN TRITON machining centre
A new more powerful machine with a 40,000 rpm spindle, HSK40 spindle taper and full 5 axis capabilities.  Designed to link into the most popular external automatic workpiece changing systems, and working in a 3 or 5 axis mode.
