Spiral router bit Roughing VHM Z3 D10 I52 L100 S10 RH positive

Three-fluted VHM roughing end mill 10x52 mm from the SF01 series – maximum efficiency in rough machining 

Index: SF01.10.052.100.10R

Industrial spiral end mill made from solid carbide (VHM) from the SF01 line, designed for intensive cutting, preliminary shaping, and efficient rough machining on gantry mills and CNC centres. The tool features a three-flute spiral geometry with a rough profile in a Z3 configuration with a positive layout, which ensures efficient chip removal upwards and a clean finish on the bottom edge of the workpiece. Dedicated roughing teeth effectively break up the material into smaller pieces, reducing cutting resistance and relieving the machine drive system. The ground shank in tolerance class H6 minimises radial runout, protecting the spindle and ensuring a high level of stability during operation.

Structural advantages and technical properties:

• Z3 roughing design (upwards chip removal): Three cutting edges with a rough profile reduce operating resistance, efficiently remove chips upwards, and allow for machining at high feed rates while maintaining a clean bottom edge.
• Premium solid carbide (VHM) construction: The rigid monolithic design limits tool deflection under load and ensures high dimensional precision.
• PVD coating applicability: 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 index of Ra ≤ 0.3 µm prevents the mill from rotating in the holder and eliminates the risk of cone wear in the spindle.
• Dynamic balancing to G2.5 standard: Certified static-dynamic balancing in the high G2.5 class (according to ISO/EN) eliminates noise and reduces 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.
