Spiral router bit Roughing VHM Z3 D16 I42 L90 S16 LH positive

Solid carbide three-flute roughing end mill 16x42 mm from the SF01 series – maximum efficiency in rough machining 

Index: SF01.16.042.090.16L

Industrial solid carbide end mill (VHM) from the SF01 line, created for intense cutting, rough shaping and efficient rough machining on spindle-type milling machines and CNC centres. The tool features a three-flute spiral geometry with a roughing profile in positive Z3 configuration, ensuring efficient chip removal upwards and a clean finish on the bottom edge of the workpiece. The dedicated roughing teeth effectively break the material into smaller pieces, 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 chip removal): Three cutting edges with a roughing 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): The rigid monolithic structure limits tool deflection under load and provides high dimensional accuracy.
• Option for PVD coating: The possibility of applying protective coatings (including TiSiN or PLATINIUM) allows for multiple extensions of the 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 wear on the spindle taper.
• Dynamic balancing in G2.5 standard: Certified static-dynamic balancing in the high class G2.5 (according to ISO/EN) reduces noise and minimizes vibrations generated at the highest speeds.

Application and range of use:

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

It excels in machining materials such as: softwood and hardwood, plywood, as well as raw particleboard and raw MDF.
