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

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

Index: SF01.10.042.090.10R

Industrial spiral end mill made from solid tungsten 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 coarse profile in Z3 configuration with a positive layout, which ensures efficient chip removal upwards and a clean finish on the bottom edge of the workpiece. The dedicated coarse teeth effectively break down 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:

• Coarse Z3 design (upward eject): Three cutting edges with a coarse profile reduce work resistance, efficiently remove chips upwards, and allow for machining at high feed rates while maintaining a clean bottom edge.
• Premium tungsten carbide monolith (VHM): The rigid monolithic construction limits tool deflection under load and provides high dimensional precision.
• Option for PVD coating: The possibility of applying protective layers (e.g., 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 wear on the taper in the spindle.
• Dynamic balancing to G2.5 standard: Certified static-dynamic balancing in the high class of G2.5 (in accordance with ISO/EN) reduces noise and minimises vibrations generated at high speeds.

Purpose and scope of use:

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.
