658 forum posts 236 photos | My usual brand for drill bits is dormer but recently got a Guhring 14mm twist drill. Anyone here got an opinion either way on the quality of them? Couldn't find much on the internet except their website so I suppose they usually sell direct to industry. |

![]() 2947 forum posts 468 photos | Have a number of Guhring small drills myself; the quality is top notch, no wobble, straight as a die, sizes drilled within .001" not oversized, the only trouble is their price but if I can 'obtain', 'be given' any tooling by them I will grab it. George. |

![]() 2156 forum posts | Last set of Guhring drills I bought for work all needed grinding before they would cut. I got the Rep into work to show him and he took them away. He gave me a replacement set that where fine and allowed me to keep the first set to take home. I am still using them 3 years after retirement. |

658 forum posts 236 photos | It was listed as only used a few times and I think the seller must have reground it since it was last sharpened. For £8 it was cheaper than I could get a standard Dormer 14mm bit and only slightly more than a cheesegrade unbranded one. |

1025 forum posts 204 photos | Guhring make a huge range of drills, some for specific materials. We use a lot of Guhring drills at my place of work and we have different ones for different materials. They are very well made tools and if you run them correctly get a lot of holes drilled per drill. They also drill very well to size also. Once re sharpened if they are not recoated, then I use the feeds/speeds for the uncoated drills. Guhring also offers custom tooling for specific tasks as well, that most other companies do not offer to do. Neil |
