Dual-edge spiral end mill VHM for aluminium and plastics with upward chip evacuation – clean bottom edge

Index: SQ01.05.012.060.05R

Industrial dual-edge spiral end mill made from solid tungsten carbide (VHM) with positive geometry (upward chip evacuation). The arrangement of two cutting edges (Z2) ensures higher tool stiffness, vibration reduction, and the possibility of using higher feed rates while maintaining stability. The right-hand spiral effectively lifts the chips upwards, guaranteeing cleanliness and no tear-out on the bottom edge of the machined material. Designed for precise cutting as well as edge jointing and alignment in aluminium, plastics, and composite materials on CNC machining centres and overhead milling machines. The finishing geometry combined with polished chip grooves prevents the work from sticking to the tool body. A ground shank in accuracy class H6 eliminates radial runout, protecting the machine spindle.

Construction advantages and technical properties:

• Dual-edge Z2 design (positive): Two cutting edges increase the stiffness of the mill and allow for higher feed speeds with very smooth guiding in the material.
• Positive geometry (upward chip evacuation): The right-hand spiral directs chips upwards, preventing fraying and tear-out on the underside of the machined plate.
• Polished chip grooves: The mirror-like surface of the spiral reduces friction, effectively preventing chips from sticking and welding to the body.
• Finishing edge geometry: Precisely sharpened cutting edges ensure a smooth finish on the machined surfaces.
• Solid tungsten carbide (VHM): The rigid and wear-resistant structure of the solid reduces vibrations and allows for dimensional accuracy.
• 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 in class G2.5: Balancing in accordance with ISO standards guarantees vibration-free operation at very high speeds.

Intended use and application range:

The tool is designed for cutting operations as well as edge jointing and alignment in aluminium, plastics, and composites on CNC machining centres.

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