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

Index: SP01.08.022.060.08R

Industrial single-edge spiral end mill made of solid carbide (VHM) with positive geometry (upward chip evacuation). Designed for efficient and precise cutting, welding, and edge trimming in aluminium, composite materials, and plastics on CNC machining centres and overhead spindle milling machines. Finishing geometry with a single edge (Z1) combined with a polished chip flute effectively prevents chip sticking and material build-up on the cutting edge. The right-hand spiral removes chips quickly upward, 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's 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 ample chip space, allowing immediate evacuation of chips and reducing cutting resistance.
• Polished chip flute: The mirror finish of the spiral surface prevents the sticking and welding of aluminium chips to the tool body.
• Finishing geometry of the blade: Precisely ground edge allows for achieving a clean surface without the need for additional finishing machining.
• Solid carbide (VHM): Rigid VHM construction dampens vibrations and ensures long tool life when working with non-ferrous metals.
• Low grip 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.

Intended use and application range:

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

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