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

Index: SP01.08.012.060.08HR

Industrial single-flute spiral end mill made from solid carbide (VHM) with positive geometry (upward chip removal). Designed for efficient and precise cutting, welding, and edging in aluminium, composite materials, and plastics on CNC machining centres and overhead milling machines. The finishing geometry with a single blade (Z1) combined with a polished chip gap effectively prevents adhesion and material buildup on the cutting edge. The right-hand spiral geometry swiftly removes chips upwards, protecting the cutting zone from overheating and ensuring a clean, finished edge surface. The ground shank with an accuracy class of H6 eliminates radial runout, protecting the machine's drive system and ensuring a high level of machining stability.

Construction advantages and technical properties:

• Single-flute design Z1 (positive): The single cutting edge provides a large chip space, enabling immediate chip evacuation and reducing cutting resistance.
• Polished chip groove: Mirror-finish surface on the spiral prevents chips from sticking and welding to the body of the mill.
• Finishing cutting edge geometry: Precisely ground edge allows for a clean surface finish without the need for additional finishing operations.
• Solid carbide (VHM): 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.

Application and scope of use:

The tool is intended for cutting, welding, and edging operations in aluminium and composites on CNC machining centres.

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