Spiral router bit for aluminum & plastics VHM Z1 D4 I15 L60 S6 RH Finishing positive

Single-edge spiral end mill made of carbide for aluminium with upward chip removal – clean bottom edge and efficient chip evacuation

Index: SP01.04.015.060.06R

Industrial single-edge spiral end mill made from solid carbide (VHM) with a positive geometry (chip removal upwards). Designed for efficient and precise cutting as well as welding and edge alignment 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 a polished chip flue, effectively prevents chip welding and material build-up on the cutting edge. The right-handed screw line quickly evacuates 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 drive system and guaranteeing a high level of machining stability.

Design advantages and technical properties:

• Single-edge design Z1 (positive): The single cutting edge provides a large chip space, allowing for immediate chip evacuation and reducing cutting resistance.
• Polished chip flue: The mirror finish of the spiral surface prevents welding and adhesion of aluminium chips to the mill body.
• Finishing geometry of the cutting edge: Precisely ground edge allows for achieving a clean surface without the need for additional finishing machining.
• Solid carbide (VHM): The stiff 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 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 as well as welding and edge alignment in aluminium and composites on CNC machining centres.

Used in the processing of materials such as: aluminium, ALUCOBOND® panels, ALUCOBOND® A2, plastics, and composites like CORIAN® and HPL.
