Spiral router bit Roughing VHM Z3 D6 I32 L70 S6 RH positive

Three-flute VHM roughing end mill 6x32 mm from the SF01 series – maximum efficiency in rough machining 

Index: SF01.06.032.070.06R

Industrial spiral end mill made of 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 Z3 configuration with a positive arrangement, ensuring efficient chip removal upwards and a clean finish on the bottom edge of the part. The dedicated roughing teeth effectively divide the material into smaller particles, reducing cutting resistance and relieving the machine drive system. The ground shank in tolerance class H6 eliminates radial runout, protecting the spindle and ensuring a high level of stability during operation.

Construction advantages and technical properties:

• Z3 roughing construction (upward chip removal): Three cutting edges with a roughing profile reduce work resistance, effectively remove chips upwards, and allow for machining at high feed speeds while maintaining a clean bottom edge.
• Premium solid carbide (VHM): The rigid monolithic construction limits tool deflection under load and ensures high dimensional precision.
• PVD coating application possibility: The option to apply protective coatings (e.g., TiSiN or PLATINIUM) allows for multiple extensions of edge life, reduces friction, and protects against overheating.
• Low roughness of the shank: The surface of the shank with a roughness indicator of Ra ≤ 0.3 µm prevents the end mill from rotating in the holder and eliminates the risk of wear on the cone in the spindle.
• Dynamic balancing to G2.5 standard: Certified static-dynamic balancing in a stringent G2.5 class (according to ISO/EN) reduces noise and vibrations generated at high speeds.

Purpose and scope of application:

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

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