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

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

Index: SC01.12.052.100.12R

High-performance spiral end mill made from solid sintered carbide (VHM) from the SC01 line, intended for tasks related to precise cutting, formatting, and finishing on specific milling machines and CNC centres. The tool features a three-flute spiral geometry in a Z3 configuration with a positive arrangement, which effectively directs chips upwards. The use of high-quality micro-grain carbide ensures high resistance to abrasive wear and significantly extends the cutting edge's lifespan. The ground shank with a tolerance class of H6 eliminates radial runout, protecting the spindle bearing system and guaranteeing an excellent standard of finish for the machined material. 

Construction advantages and technical properties:

• Finishing geometry Z3 (upward chip removal): Three cutting edges ensure extremely high cutting performance, allowing for operation at higher feed speeds, providing an ideal edge finishing standard and efficient upward chip removal.
• Premium sintered carbide monolith (VHM): Rigid, monolithic construction prevents deformation of the mill during operation under high force, allowing for narrow dimensional tolerances to be maintained.
• Possibility of PVD coating application: The option to apply protective layers (including TiSiN or PLATINIUM) allows for multiple extensions of edge lifespan, reduces friction, and protects against overheating.
• Low roughness of the shank: The surface of the shank with a roughness index of Ra ≤ 0.3 µm protects the mill from rotating in the holder and eliminates the risk of wear on the spindle cone.
• Dynamic balancing to G2.5 standard: Certified static-dynamic balancing in the high standard G2.5 (according to ISO/EN) reduces noise and vibrations generated at the highest speeds (up to 18,000 RPM).

Intended use and scope of application:

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

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