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

Index: SP01.08.032.080.08HR

Industrial single-flute spiral cutter made from solid carbide (VHM) with positive geometry (upward chip removal). Designed for efficient and precise cutting, as well as edge welding and aligning in aluminium, composite materials, and plastics on CNC machining centres and overhead spindle mills. The finishing geometry with a single cutting 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 ensuring a clean, finished edge surface. The ground shank in accuracy class H6 eliminates radial runout, protecting the machine drive system and guaranteeing a high level of processing stability.

Design advantages and technical properties:

• Single-flute Z1 (positive) design: The single cutting edge provides a large chip space, allowing for immediate chip evacuation and reducing cutting resistance.
• Polished chip flute: The mirror-finished surface of the spiral prevents aluminium chips from adhering and welding to the cutter body.
• Finishing blade geometry: Precisely ground edge allows for achieving 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 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 class G2.5: Balancing in accordance with ISO standards guarantees vibration-free operation at very high rotational speeds.

Intended use and application range:

The tool is designed for cutting operations as well as edge welding and aligning in aluminium and composites on CNC machining centres.

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