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

Index: SP01.06.012.060.06R

Industrial single-edge spiral end mill made from solid carbide (VHM) with positive geometry (upward chip ejection). Designed for efficient and precise cutting, welding, and edge truing 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 flutes effectively prevents chip adhesion and material build-up on the cutting edge. The right-hand helical flute quickly removes the chips upwards, 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 processing 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 flute: The mirror finish of the spiral surface prevents the chips from adhering and welding to the body of the end mill.
• Finishing edge geometry: The precisely sharpened edge allows for achieving a clean surface without the need for additional finishing operations.
• Solid carbide (VHM): The rigid VHM construction dampens vibrations and provides 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 in accordance with ISO standards ensures vibration-free operation at very high rotational speeds.

Application and scope of use:

The tool is intended for cutting operations as well as welding and edge truing 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.
