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

Index: SP01.03.012.060.03R

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

Structural advantages and technical properties:

• Single-edged design Z1 (positive): The single cutting edge provides a large chip space, enabling immediate evacuation of chips and reducing cutting resistance.
• Polished chip groove: The mirror finish of the spiral surface prevents adhesion and welding of aluminium chips to the body of the mill.
• Finishing edge geometry: Precisely ground edge allows for a clean surface without the need for additional finishing processing.
• Solid carbide (VHM): The rigid VHM construction dampens vibrations and ensures long tool life when working in 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 to 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, jointing, and edging operations in aluminium and composites on CNC machining centres.

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