Spiral router bit Finishing VHM Z3 D8 I42 L90 S8 RH positive

VHM three-flute spiral end mill 8x42 mm from the SC01 series – perfect edge quality and high machining efficiency

Index: SC01.08.042.090.08R

High-performance spiral end mill made from solid sintered carbide (VHM) from the SC01 line, designed for tasks involving precise cutting, profiling, and finishing on overhead spindle milling machines and CNC centres. The tool utilises a three-flute spiral geometry in a Z3 positive configuration, which ensures effective chip removal upwards. The use of high-quality micrograin carbide provides excellent wear resistance 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 on the machined material. 

Design advantages and technical properties:

• Finishing geometry Z3 (upward chip removal): Three cutting edges guarantee very high cutting efficiency, allow for operation at higher feed rates, provide an excellent edge finish standard, and ensure efficient chip removal upwards.
• Premium sintered carbide monolith (VHM): Sturdy, monolithic construction prevents deformation of the mill during operation under high force, allowing for tight dimensional tolerances.
• Possibility of PVD coating: The option to apply protective layers (e.g., TiSiN or PLATINIUM) allows for several times the lifespan of the edge, reduces friction, and protects against overheating.
• Low roughness of the gripping part: The shank surface with a roughness indicator of Ra ≤ 0.3 µm protects the mill from rotating in the holder and eliminates the risk of wearing out the cone in the spindle.
• Dynamic balancing to G2.5 standard: Certified static-dynamic balancing in a high class of G2.5 (according to ISO/EN) reduces noise and vibrations generated at high speeds (up to 18,000 RPM).

Intended use and application range:

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

It performs excellently in machining materials such as: softwood and hardwood, raw MDF board, plywood, and raw particle board.
