Spiral router bit Finishing VHM Z3 D18 I55 L110 S18 LH positive

Three-flute VHM spiral end mill 18x55 mm from the SC01 series – perfect edge quality and high machining efficiency

Index: SC01.18.055.110.18L

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

Design advantages and technical properties:

• Finishing geometry Z3 (upward chip eject): Three cutting edges ensure very high cutting performance, allow for operation at higher feed rates, provide an ideal edge finish standard, and facilitate efficient chip removal upwards.
• Premium sintered carbide monolith (VHM): The rigid, monolithic structure prevents deformation of the mill during operation under high force, allowing for narrow dimensional tolerances to be maintained.
• Ability to apply PVD coating: 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 indicator of Ra ≤ 0.3 µm prevents the mill from rotating in the holder and eliminates the risk of wearing the taper in the spindle.
• Dynamic balancing in standard G2.5: Certified static-dynamic balancing in the stringent class G2.5 (according to ISO/EN) eliminates noise and reduces vibrations generated at high speeds (up to 18,000 RPM).

Purpose and application range:

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

It performs excellently in the machining of materials such as soft and hardwood, raw MDF boards, plywood, and raw particle boards.
