Spiral router bit Finishing VHM Z3 D16 I42 L90 S16 RH positive

Three-flute spiral end mill VHM with chip breaker 16x42 mm from the SC03 series – maximum performance and high standard of machining

Index: SC03.16.042.090.16R

High-performance spiral end mill made from solid sintered carbide (VHM) from the SC03 line, designed for efficient format machining, cutting, and finishing-roughing operations on CNC milling machines and machining centres. The tool employs a three-flute spiral geometry in a Z3R configuration with a positive arrangement, which guarantees immediate removal of dust and chips upwards and maintains perfect cleanliness of the lower edge. The applied chip breaker noticeably reduces mechanical loads on the system and granulates the material, allowing for operation with an increased feed rate without sacrificing stability. The ground shank in tolerance class H6 eliminates radial runout, protecting the spindle bearing system and ensuring impeccable detail quality.

Structural advantages and technical properties:

• Z3R chip breaker geometry (upward chip removal): The arrangement of three cutting edges with a chip breaker lowers working resistance, facilitates the removal of granulated material, and enables rapid feed with ideal edge finishing.
• Premium sintered carbide monolith (VHM): The rigid, monolithic construction prevents deformation of the end mill during operation under high force, allowing for machining accuracy to be maintained.
• PVD coating application capability: The option of applying protective layers (including TiSiN or PLATINIUM) allows for multiple extensions of edge life, reduces friction, and protects against overheating.
• Low roughness of the clamping section: The shank surface with a roughness indicator of Ra ≤ 0.3 µm protects the end mill from rotating in the holder and eliminates the risk of cone wear in the spindle.
• Dynamic balancing in G2.5 standard: Certified static-dynamic balancing in an advanced class G2.5 (according to ISO/EN) reduces noise and decreases vibrations generated at maximum speeds.

Intended use and scope of application:

The tool is intended for cutting operations, contour milling, grooving, and medium-rough and finishing machining.

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