Spiral router bit Finishing VHM Z3 D12 I52 L100 S12 LH positive

Four-flute VHM spiral end mill 12x52 mm from the SC01 series – perfect edge quality and high machining efficiency

Index: SC01.12.052.100.12L

High-performance spiral end mill made from solid sintered carbide (VHM) from the SC01 line, designed for tasks related to precise cutting, shaping, and finishing on the vertical spindle milling machines and CNC centres. The tool features a three-flute spiral geometry in a Z3 configuration with a positive arrangement, which promotes effective chip removal upwards. The use of high-quality micro-grain carbide provides high resistance to abrasive wear and significantly extends the cutting edge's service life. The ground shank in tolerance class H6 eliminates radial runout, protecting the spindle bearing system and ensuring an excellent standard of finish on the machined material. 

Construction advantages and technical properties:

• Finishing geometry Z3 (upward chip removal): Three cutting edges guarantee very high cutting efficiency, allow for operation at higher feed speeds, provide an ideal standard of edge finish, and ensure efficient upward removal of chips.
• Premium sintered carbide monolith (VHM): The rigid, monolithic structure prevents deformation of the end mill during operation under high forces, allowing for tight dimensional tolerances to be maintained.
• Possibility of PVD coating application: The option to apply protective coatings (including 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 index of Ra ≤ 0.3 µm prevents the end mill from rotating in the collet and eliminates the risk of taper wear in the spindle.
• Dynamic balancing in G2.5 standard: Certified static-dynamic balancing in an elite class of G2.5 (according to ISO/EN) eliminates noise and reduces vibrations generated at high speeds (up to 18,000 RPM).

Intended use and application range:

The tool is designed for cutting operations, peripheral milling, and edge finishing.

It performs excellently in the processing of materials such as soft and hard wood, raw MDF board, plywood, and raw particle board.
