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

Index: SP01.02.006.060.06HR

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

Design advantages and technical specifications:

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

Intended use and applications:

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

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