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

Index: SP01.08.032.080.08R

Industrial single-edged spiral cutter made from solid carbide (VHM) with positive geometry (upward chip removal). Designed for efficient and precise cutting, and for welding and levelling edges in aluminium, composite materials, and plastics on CNC machining centres and gantry milling machines. The finishing geometry with a single edge (Z1) combined with a polished chip groove effectively prevents sticking and material buildup on the cutting edge. The right-hand spiral quickly removes 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 runout, protecting the machine's drive system and ensuring a high level of machining stability.

Design advantages and technical properties:

• Single-edged design Z1 (positive): The single cutting edge provides a large chip space, allowing for immediate chip evacuation and reducing cutting resistance.
• Polished chip groove: The mirror-finish surface of the spiral prevents aluminium chips from sticking and welding to the cutter body.
• Finishing geometry of the cutting edge: Precisely sharpened edge enables obtaining 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 roughness of the shank (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 to class G2.5: Balancing in accordance with ISO standards guarantees vibration-free operation at very high rotational speeds.

Purpose and scope of application:

The tool is intended for cutting operations as well as welding and levelling edges in aluminium and composites on CNC machining centres.

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