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

Index: SP01.03.012.060.06R

Industrial single-flute spiral end mill made from solid carbide (VHM) with positive geometry (upward chip removal). Designed for efficient and precise cutting, joining, and edge trimming in aluminium, composite materials, and plastics on CNC machining centres and overhead milling machines. Finishing geometry with a single blade (Z1) combined with a polished chip flute effectively prevents material from sticking and accumulating on the cutting edge. The right-hand spiral quickly removes the 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 ensuring a high level of machining stability.

Construction advantages and technical properties:

• Single-flute design Z1 (positive): The single cutting edge provides a large chip space, allowing for immediate chip evacuation and reducing cutting resistance.
• Polished chip flute: The mirror-finished surface of the spiral prevents the sticking and welding of aluminium chips to the body of the mill.
• Finishing blade geometry: The precisely sharpened edge allows for a clean surface without the need for additional finishing work.
• Solid carbide (VHM): The rigid VHM construction dampens vibrations and ensures a long tool life when working with non-ferrous metals.
• Low grip 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.

Application and scope of use:

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

Used in the machining of materials such as: aluminium, ALUCOBOND® panels, ALUCOBOND® A2, plastics, and composite materials such as CORIAN® and HPL.
