Spiral router bit Finishing VHM Z3 D16 I72 L120 S16 LH positive

Three-flute VHM spiral end mill 16x72 mm from the SC01 series – perfect edge quality and high machining efficiency

Index: SC01.16.072.120.16L

High-performance spiral end mill made from solid sintered carbide (VHM) from the SC01 line, intended for precise cutting, shaping, and finishing tasks on CNC milling machines and machining centres. The tool features a three-flute spiral geometry in a Z3 configuration with a positive rake angle, which facilitates effective chip removal upwards. The use of high-quality micro-grain carbide ensures high resistance to abrasive wear and significantly extends the tool life of the cutting edge. The ground shank in tolerance class H6 eliminates radial run-out, protecting the spindle bearing system and guaranteeing an excellent finish standard for the machined material. 

Construction advantages and technical properties:

• Finishing geometry Z3 (upward chip removal): Three cutting edges ensure very high machining efficiency, allow for higher feed rates, provide perfect edge finish standards, and facilitate efficient upward chip removal.
• Premium sintered carbide monolith (VHM): The rigid, monolithic construction prevents deformation of the end mill during heavy-duty operations, allowing for tight dimensional tolerances.
• Possibility of PVD coating application: 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 shank: The surface of the shank with a roughness value of Ra ≤ 0.3 µm prevents the end mill from rotating in the holder and eliminates the risk of wear on the taper in the spindle.
• Dynamic balancing according to G2.5 standard: Certified static-dynamic balancing in the stringent G2.5 class (according to ISO/EN) reduces noise and vibration generated at high speeds (up to 18,000 RPM).

Intended use and application range:

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

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