Spiral router bit Roughing VHM Z3 D10 I42 L90 S10 LH positive

VHM three-flute roughing end mill 10x42 mm from the SF01 series – maximum efficiency in rough machining 

Index: SF01.10.042.090.10L

Industrial spiral end mill made from solid carbide (VHM) from the SF01 line, designed for intensive cutting, preliminary shaping, and efficient rough machining on overhead spindle milling machines and CNC centres. The tool features a three-flute spiral geometry with a roughing profile in a positive Z3 configuration, which ensures efficient chip removal upwards and clean finishing of the part's lower edge. The dedicated roughing tooth efficiently divides the material into smaller particles, reducing cutting resistance and relieving the machine's drive system. The ground shank in tolerance class H6 eliminates radial runout, protecting the spindle and ensuring a high level of stability during operation.

Design advantages and technical properties:

• Z3 roughing design (upward evacuation): Three cutting edges with a roughing profile reduce working resistance, efficiently remove chips upwards, and allow for machining at high feed rates while maintaining a clean lower edge.
• Premium solid carbide (VHM) construction: The rigid monolithic structure limits tool deflection under load and ensures high dimensional precision.
• Option for PVD coating: The option to apply protective layers (including TiSiN or PLATINIUM) allows for multiple extensions of edge life, reduces friction, and protects against overheating.
• Low roughness of the clamping part: The shank surface with a roughness index of Ra ≤ 0.3 µm prevents the end mill from spinning in the holder and eliminates the risk of cone wear in the spindle.
• Dynamic balancing within G2.5 standard: Certified static-dynamic balancing in a rigorous G2.5 class (according to ISO/EN) reduces noise and minimises vibrations generated at high speeds.

Intended use and application range:

The tool is designed for cutting, preliminary shaping, and efficient rough machining operations.

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