Spiral router bit Roughing VHM Z3 D8 I32 L80 S8 RH positive

Three-flute VHM roughing spiral end mill 8x32 mm from the SF01 series – maximum performance in rough machining 

Index: SF01.08.032.080.08R

Industrial spiral end mill made from 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 the Z3 configuration with a positive layout, ensuring efficient chip removal upwards and a clean finish on the bottom edge of the workpiece. The dedicated roughing tooth effectively divides 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 guaranteeing a high level of stability during operation.

Structural 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 structure limits tool deflection under load and ensures high dimensional precision.
• PVD coating application option: 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 mill from spinning in the collet and eliminates the risk of wear on the cone in the spindle.
• Dynamic balancing to G2.5 standard: Certified static-dynamic balancing at an exceptional 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 works excellently for machining materials such as: soft and hard wood, plywood, as well as raw particle board and raw MDF board.
