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

Index: SP01.05.015.060.05R

Industrial single-flute spiral milling cutter made from solid carbide (VHM) with positive geometry (upward chip removal). Designed for efficient and precise cutting, as well as seam and edge alignment in aluminium, composite materials, and plastics on CNC machining centres and overhead milling machines. The finishing geometry with a single edge (Z1) combined with a polished chip flute effectively prevents adhesion and material build-up on the cutting edge. The right-hand spiral quickly evacuates chips upwards, protecting the cutting zone from overheating and guaranteeing a clean, finished edge surface. The ground shank with an accuracy class of H6 eliminates radial run-out, protecting the machine's drive system and ensuring a high level of machining stability.

Construction advantages and technical properties:

• Single-flute Z1 design (positive): A single cutting edge provides a large chip space, enabling immediate chip evacuation and reducing cutting resistance.
• Polished chip flute: The mirror-finish surface of the spiral prevents adhesion and welding of aluminium shavings to the cutter body.
• Finishing edge geometry: Precisely ground edge allows for obtaining a clean surface without the need for additional finishing machining.
• Solid carbide (VHM): The rigid VHM construction dampens vibrations and ensures a 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 designed for cutting, seam welding, and edge alignment operations 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.
