Compression nesting router bit NEXCUT VHM Z2+6 D12 I35 L80 S12 RH

Compression spiral mill VHM for nesting X99 NEXCUT with PLATINIUM coating – award-winning precision and exceptional durability

Index: X99.12.035.080.12PR

The NEXCUT X99 compression milling cutter from ITA TOOLS is the official winner of the Gold Medal MTP at the International Fair of Machines, Tools and Components for the Wood and Furniture Industry DREMA 2026. The industrial spiral mill is made from a special grade of sintered carbide designed for nesting with a compression geometry (positive-negative) and an innovative protective PLATINIUM coating. The tool is designed for maximum efficiency during cutting, nesting technology operations, as well as edge bonding and smoothing on CNC machining centres. The advanced blade arrangement Z#liczba_ostrzy_z with finishing geometry combined with opposing screw lines guarantees a perfectly smooth surface and clean edges without chipping on both the upper and lower surfaces of the workpiece board. The ground shank with an accuracy class of H6 effectively eliminates radial runout, protecting the drive system and preventing vibrations.

Design advantages and technical properties:

• Winner of the Gold Medal DREMA 2026: Officially recognised with the prestigious MTP award for innovation, outstanding machining quality, and advanced cutting technology in the furniture industry.
• Advanced Z2+6 (NEXCUT) design: The special arrangement of 2+6 spiral blades ensures outstanding working culture, perfect edge finish, and very high feed rates while maintaining perfect cutting quality.
• Compression geometry (Positive-Negative): The opposing twist of the blades simultaneously pushes the chips from the upper edge downwards and from the lower edge upwards, pressing the laminate against the core of the board and eliminating the risk of tear-outs.
• Special grade of carbide for nesting: The use of selected monolithic carbide with enhanced rigidity and impact resistance protects the blades from micro-chipping during continuous board processing.
• Advanced dual-layer PLATINIUM coating (.PR): An innovative PVD coating with an iridescent colour (gold-purple-blue), thickness of 1–4 µm, and micro-hardness of 3000 HV (HV 0.05). The combination of a hard layer with a tribological one allows for a very low coefficient of friction (0.02), drastically reduces material adhesion to the tool, and significantly extends the lifespan of the blades.
• Finishing cutting geometry: Precisely ground edges guarantee excellent edge surface quality without the need for additional processing.
• Low grip roughness (Ra ≤ 0.3 µm): The ground surface of the shank prevents slipping in the tool holder and protects the spindle taper from wear.
• Dynamic balancing in class G2.5: Balancing according to ISO standards ensures stability and quiet operation at maximum rotational speeds.

Purpose and range of application:

The tool is intended for efficient cutting operations, processing using nesting technology, as well as edge bonding and smoothing on CNC machining centres.

It performs excellently in processing materials such as: soft and hard solid wood, raw and laminated MDF board, raw and laminated particle board, raw and laminated plywood, and HPL boards.
