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

Index: SP01.04.008.060.04R

Industrial single-flute spiral end mill made from solid carbide (VHM) with a positive geometry (upward chip removal). Designed for efficient and precise cutting as well as edging and trimming 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 flute effectively prevents sticking and material build-up on the cutting edge. The right-hand helical groove quickly removes the chip upwards, protecting the cutting zone from overheating and ensuring a clean, finished edge surface. The ground grip with an accuracy class of H6 eliminates radial run-out, protecting the machine's drive system and ensuring a high level of machining stability.

Structural advantages and technical properties:

• Single flute design Z1 (positive): The single cutting edge provides a large chip space, allowing immediate removal of chips and reducing cutting resistance.
• Polished flute: The mirror finish of the flute surface prevents sticking and welding of aluminium chips to the cutter body.
• Finishing edge geometry: The precisely ground edge allows for a clean surface without the need for additional finishing operations.
• 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 grip surface prevents slipping in the tool holder and protects the spindle taper from wear.
• Dynamic balancing class G2.5: The balancing according to ISO standards guarantees vibration-free operation at very high rotational speeds.

Purpose and application range:

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

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