Two-flute spiral end mill VHM ball nose for aluminium and plastics with upward chip removal - for 3D sculpting and machining

Index: SQ31.10.045.100.10R

Industrial two-flute spiral end mill made from solid cemented carbide (VHM) with a ball geometry (Round Nose) and upward chip removal (positive). The arrangement of two cutting edges (Z2) with a full radius at the tip allows for precise shape milling, sculpting, engraving, and machining of curved surfaces in 3D without leaving sharp steps. The right-hand spiral effectively lifts the chips upwards, preventing accumulation in the cutting zone. Designed for finishing, cutting, and welding operations on aluminium, plastics, and composite materials on CNC machining centres and overhead spindle milling machines. The finishing geometry combined with polished flutes prevents the workpiece from adhering to the body. The ground shank with an accuracy class of H6 eliminates radial runout, protecting the machine's drive system.

Structural advantages and technical properties:

• Ball geometry (Round Nose): Full radius at the tool tip enables precise 3D modelling, milling of spatial surfaces, and smooth transitions in internal radii.
• Two-flute Z2 construction (positive): Two cutting edges increase the rigidity of the mill and allow for efficient work with smooth guidance in the material.
• Positive geometry (upward chip removal): The right-hand spiral lifts the chips upwards, protecting the lower machined surface from scratches caused by chips.
• Polished flutes: The mirror-like surface of the spiral reduces friction and effectively prevents chip adhesion to the body.
• Solid cemented carbide (VHM): Rigid and wear-resistant structure of the solid material reduces vibrations and guarantees dimensional stability at precise details.
• Low shank roughness (Ra ≤ 0.3 µm): The ground surface of the shank prevents slipping in the holder and protects the spindle taper from wear.
• Dynamic balancing in class G2.5: Balancing in accordance with ISO standards guarantees vibration-free operation at very high speeds.

Intended use and range of application:

The tool is intended for 3D finishing, sculpting, engraving, cutting, and welding operations in aluminium and plastics on CNC machining centres.

Used for machining materials such as: aluminium, plastics, and composites like CORIAN® and HPL.
