Two-flute spiral end mill VHM for aluminium and plastics with upward chip removal – clean lower edge

Index: SQ01.03.012.060.06R

Industrial two-flute spiral end mill made of solid carbide (VHM) with positive geometry (upward chip removal). The arrangement of two cutting edges (Z2) ensures higher tool stiffness, reduces vibrations, and allows for higher feeds while maintaining stability. The right-hand spiral effectively lifts the chips upwards, ensuring cleanliness and the absence of tearing on the lower edge of the machined material. Designed for precise cutting as well as edging and aligning edges in aluminium, plastics, and composite materials on CNC machining centres and overhead milling machines. The finishing geometry combined with polished flutes prevents chip build-up on the tool body. The ground shank in class H6 accuracy eliminates radial run-out, protecting the machine spindle.

Design advantages and technical properties:

• Two-flute Z2 (positive) design: Two cutting edges increase the stiffness of the mill and allow for higher feed rates while maintaining smooth cutting in the material.
• Positive geometry (upward chip removal): The right-hand spiral directs the chips upwards, preventing fraying and tearing on the underside of the machined plate.
• Polished flutes: The mirror-like surface of the spiral reduces friction, effectively preventing chips from sticking and welding to the body.
• Finishing edge geometry: Precisely ground cutting edges ensure a smooth finish on the machined surfaces.
• Solid carbide (VHM): The rigid and wear-resistant structure of the solid carbide reduces vibrations and maintains dimensional precision.
• Low shank roughness (Ra ≤ 0.3 µm): The ground surface of the shank prevents slipping in the 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 speeds.

Application and scope of use:

The tool is intended for cutting operations as well as edging and aligning edges in aluminium, plastics, and composites on CNC machining centres.

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