Spiral router bit Finishing VHM Z2+2 D16 I42 L100 S16 RH pos./neg.

Compression finishing VHM spiral end mill Z#number_of_edges_z from the SM01 series – perfect edge quality without tear-out

Index: SM01.16.042.100.16R

Industrial spiral end mill made from solid carbide (VHM) from the SM01 series with compression geometry. The tool is equipped with opposing helical flutes that simultaneously push chips down from the upper edge and up from the lower one, pressing the laminate against the core of the plate. Designed for finishing operations, cutting, edge banding, and trimming on CNC machining centres. The compression design eliminates the risk of chipping and tear-out on both sides of the workpiece. The ground shank in accuracy class H6 eliminates radial runout, ensuring smooth machining and a long spindle life.

Structural advantages and technical properties:

• Compression geometry (Positive-Negative): The combination of right-hand and left-hand cutting edges ensures a smooth, clean edge without tear-out on both the top and bottom surfaces of the plate.
• Finishing cutting geometry: Precisely sharpened cutting edges ensure high surface quality without the need for additional finishing operations.
• Solid carbide (VHM): The stiff monolithic design reduces tool deflection under load and maintains dimensional precision.
• Low shank 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 in accordance with ISO standards eliminates vibrations at high rotational speeds.

Intended use and application range:

The tool is designed for cutting, nesting, edge banding, and trimming operations on CNC machines.

It works excellently in machining materials such as: solid softwood and hardwood, raw and laminated MDF board, raw and laminated particle board, as well as raw and veneered plywood.
