Single-flute VHM spiral cutter for aluminium with upward chip removal – clean bottom edge and efficient chip evacuation

Index: SP01.10.042.080.10R

Industrial single-flute spiral cutter made from solid carbide (VHM) with positive geometry (upward chip removal). Designed for efficient and precise cutting, as well as edge welding and finishing in aluminium, composite materials, and plastics on CNC machining centres and overhead milling machines. The finishing geometry with one cutting edge (Z1) combined with a polished chip groove effectively prevents sticking and material build-up on the cutting edge. The right-hand helix rapidly evacuates chips upward, protecting the cutting zone from overheating and guaranteeing a clean, finished edge surface. The ground shank in H6 accuracy class eliminates radial runout, protecting the machine's drive system and ensuring a high level of machining stability.

Design benefits and technical properties:

• Single-flute Z1 (positive) design: The single cutting edge provides a large chip space, allowing for immediate chip evacuation and reducing cutting resistance.
• Polished chip groove: The mirror-finished spiral surface prevents aluminium chips from sticking and welding to the cutter body.
• Finishing blade geometry: The precisely ground edge allows for a clean surface without the need for additional finishing processing.
• Monolithic cemented carbide (VHM): The rigid VHM construction dampens vibrations and ensures long tool life when working with non-ferrous metals.
• Low shank roughness (Ra ≤ 0.3 µm): The ground shank surface prevents slipping in the tool holder and protects the spindle taper from wear.
• Dynamic balancing in class G2.5: Balancing according to ISO standards guarantees vibration-free operation at very high rotational speeds.

Intended use and application range:

The tool is intended for cutting, welding, and edge finishing operations in aluminium and composites on CNC machining centres.

Used for processing materials such as: aluminium, ALUCOBOND® sheets, ALUCOBOND® A2, plastics, and composites such as CORIAN® and HPL.
