Single-edged spiral end mill VHM for aluminium and plastics with upward chip ejection – clean lower edge and efficient chip removal

Index: SP02.03.016.080.08R

Industrial single-edged spiral end mill made from solid carbide (VHM) with positive geometry and undercut (upward chip ejection). The design with an undercut body facilitates entry into the material, reduces the total friction surface and ensures optimal chip flow, which eliminates the risk of tool clogging during deep machining. The tool has a helix angle of 30° and a polished flute, which guarantees edge finishing. Designed for efficient cutting, grooving, and edge jointing and aligning in aluminium, ALU/PVC profiles, plastics, and composites on CNC machining centres and overhead spindle milling machines. The use of a special grade of carbide extends tool life, and the possibility of applying protective coatings reduces friction and increases work efficiency. The ground shank in H6 precision class eliminates radial runout, protecting the machine's drive system.

Design advantages and technical properties:

• Single-edged Z1 design with undercut (positive): The special undercut body facilitates entry into the material along the Z axis, reduces tool heating and decreases cutting resistance during deep passes.
• Helix angle of 30° and polished flute: The precise 30° helix angle combined with a polished spiral surface eliminates chip welding and promotes smooth upward chip ejection.
• Special grade of carbide (VHM): Increased wear resistance provides long tool life when machining non-ferrous metals and plastics.
• Option for high-performance coatings: Design adapted for applying protective coatings that reduce temperature in the cutting zone.
• Low roughness of the shank (Ra ≤ 0.3 µm): The ground shank surface prevents slipping in the holder and protects the spindle cone from wear.
• Dynamic balancing in G2.5 class: Balancing in accordance with ISO standards guarantees vibration-free operation at very high rotational speeds.

Purpose and scope of application:

The tool is intended for cutting, grooving, and edge jointing and aligning in aluminium and profiles on CNC machining centres.

Used for machining materials such as: aluminium, aluminium and PVC profiles, ALUCOBOND® panels, ALUCOBOND® A2 and plastics.
