Mono-blade spiral end mill VHM for aluminium with upward chip removal – clean lower edge and efficient chip evacuation

Index: SP01.03.006.060.03R

Industrial mono-blade spiral end mill made of sintered carbide (VHM) with positive geometry (upward chip removal). Designed for efficient and precise cutting, as well as jointing and edge smoothing of aluminium, composite materials, and plastics on CNC machining centres and vertical spindle milling machines. The finishing geometry with one blade (Z1) combined with a polished chip flute effectively prevents chip adhesion and material buildup on the cutting edge. The right-hand spiral quickly evacuates the chips upward, protecting the cutting zone from overheating and guaranteeing 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.

Structural advantages and technical properties:

• Mono-blade design Z1 (positive): The single cutting edge provides a large chip space, allowing for immediate evacuation of chips and reducing cutting forces.
• Polished chip flute: The mirror finish of the spiral surface prevents chip adhesion and welding of aluminium chips to the body of the mill.
• Finishing geometry of the blade: The precisely ground edge allows for obtaining a clean surface without the need for additional finishing processing.
• Sintered carbide (VHM) monolith: 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 surface of the shank 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 operations as well as jointing and edge smoothing of aluminium and composites on CNC machining centres.

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