Spiral router bit Finishing VHM Z3 D10 I42 L90 S10 RH positive

VHM three-flute spiral end mill 10x42 mm from the SC01 series – perfect edge quality and high machining performance

Index: SC01.10.042.090.10R

High-performance spiral end mill made from solid sintered carbide (VHM) from the SC01 range, designed for tasks involving precise cutting, profiling and finishing on vertical spindle milling machines and CNC centres. The tool features a three-flute spiral geometry in Z3 configuration with a positive layout, facilitating effective chip removal upwards. The use of high-quality micrograin carbide ensures high resistance to abrasive wear and significantly extends the cutting edge durability. The polished shank with H6 tolerance class minimizes radial runout, protecting the spindle bearing assembly and guaranteeing an excellent finishing standard on the workpiece material. 

Design advantages and technical properties:

• Finishing geometry Z3 (upward chip removal): Three cutting edges provide very high cutting efficiency, enabling operation at higher feed rates, ensuring ideal edge finishing standards, and facilitating efficient upward chip removal.
• Premium solid sintered carbide (VHM): The rigid, monolithic construction prevents deformation of the mill during operation under heavy loads, allowing for tight dimensional tolerances to be maintained.
• Possibility of PVD coating application: The option to apply protective coatings (e.g., TiSiN or PLATINIUM) allows for multiple extensions of edge life, reduces friction, and protects against overheating.
• Low roughness of the shank: The shank surface with a roughness indicator of Ra ≤ 0.3 µm prevents the mill from rotating in the holder and eliminates the risk of wear on the spindle's cone.
• Dynamic balance to G2.5 standard: Certified static-dynamic balancing in the stringent G2.5 class (in accordance with ISO/EN) minimizes noise and reduces vibrations generated at high speeds (up to 18,000 RPM).

Intended use and application range:

The tool is intended for cutting, contour milling, and finishing edge operations.

It performs excellently when machining materials such as: soft and hard wood, raw MDF board, plywood, and raw particle board.
