Guhring Drill Bits at MyToolShed.co.uk
MyToolShed.co.uk stocks a comprehensive range of Guhring precision drill bit sets, representing over 125 years of German engineering excellence. Our selection focuses on professional-grade HSS and HSCO drill bit sets, spanning sizes from 1.0mm through to 13mm in various increment configurations. Whether you need fine 0.1mm increments for precision engineering work or standard 0.5mm steps for general metalworking, Guhring's systematically organised drill collections provide reliable solutions for demanding applications.
Founded in 1898, Guhring pioneered the world's first HSS drill bit and later revolutionised the industry with the first TiN-coated twist drill in 1981. This heritage of innovation is evident throughout our range, which includes popular series such as the No 201 HSS sets, the premium No 195 and No 16 HSCO Cobalt options, and advanced TiN-coated variants in the No 17 and No 234 series. MyToolShed.co.uk also stocks the high-performance AeroX Cobalt M42 range, designed for extreme metalworking applications where standard tooling falls short.

Guhring FAQs
Is Guhring suitable for professional use?
Yes, Guhring is widely regarded as one of the premium cutting tool manufacturers globally. With over 125 years of manufacturing experience and more than 600 worldwide patents, Guhring tools are trusted by professional engineers across aerospace, automotive, and precision engineering sectors throughout the UK.
What does HSCO mean on Guhring drill bits?
HSCO stands for High-Speed Cobalt Steel, an enhanced alloy containing cobalt which significantly improves heat resistance and hardness retention at elevated temperatures. HSCO drills are specifically designed for drilling harder materials including stainless steel and high-tensile alloys where standard HSS drills would quickly lose their cutting edge.
What's the difference between TiN coated and Bright finish drills?
TiN (Titanium Nitride) coating provides a hard, low-friction surface that reduces heat build-up and can extend tool life by up to 300% compared to uncoated drills. Bright finish (uncoated) drills are preferred for softer materials like aluminium and allow easier visual inspection of cutting edge condition.
