Spiral router bit Roughing VHM Z3 D16 I35 L90 S16 RH positive

Three-flute roughing end mill VHM 16x35 mm from the SF01 series – maximum efficiency in rough machining 

Index: SF01.16.035.090.16R

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

Construction advantages and technical properties:

• Z3 roughing design (upward chip removal): Three cutting edges with a roughing profile reduce work 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 minimizes tool deflection under load and ensures high dimensional precision.
• Ability to apply PVD coating: The option to apply protective coatings (such as 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 end 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 stringent G2.5 class (according to ISO/EN) eliminates noise and reduces vibrations generated at high speeds.

Intended use and application range:

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

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