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

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

Index: SC01.16.072.120.16R

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

Structural advantages and technical properties:

• Finishing geometry Z3 (upward chip evacuation): Three cutting edges guarantee very high cutting performance, allow for operations at higher feed speeds, ensure an ideal standard of edge finishing and efficient upwards chip removal.
• Monolith of Premium sintered carbide (VHM): The rigid, monolithic structure prevents deformation of the mill during operation under high forces, allowing for the maintenance of narrow dimensional tolerances.
• Possibility of applying a PVD coating: The option to apply protective layers (including TiSiN or PLATINIUM) allows for multiple extensions of the edge's lifespan, reduces friction and protects against overheating.
• Low roughness of the shank: The surface of the shank with a roughness indicator of Ra ≤ 0.3 µm prevents the mill from spinning in the holder and eliminates the risk of wearing the taper in the spindle.
• Dynamic balancing in class G2.5: Certified static-dynamic balancing in a stringent G2.5 class (according to ISO/EN) reduces noise and minimizes vibrations generated at the highest speeds (up to 18,000 RPM).

Purpose and range of application:

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

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