Spiral router bit for aluminum & plastics VHM Z2 D8 I40 L100 S8 RH Finishing positive

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

Index: SQ01.08.040.100.08R

Industrial two-flute spiral end mill made of solid carbide (VHM) with positive geometry (upward chip removal). The arrangement of two cutting edges (Z2) provides higher tool rigidity, reduces vibrations, and allows for higher feed rates while maintaining stability. The right-hand helical flute effectively lifts the chips upwards, ensuring cleanliness and preventing tearing on the bottom edge of the workpiece. Designed for precise cutting as well as edge trimming and sealing in aluminium, plastics, and composite materials on CNC machining centres and vertical milling machines. The finishing geometry combined with polished flutes prevents chips from sticking to the tool body. The ground shank in accuracy class H6 eliminates radial runout, protecting the machine spindle.

Design advantages and technical properties:

• Two-flute design Z2 (positive): Two cutting edges increase the rigidity of the end mill and allow for increased feed speeds while ensuring smooth guiding in the material.
• Positive geometry (upward chip removal): The right-hand spiral directs chips upwards, preventing fraying and tearing on the underside of the workpiece.
• Polished flutes: The mirror-like surface of the flutes reduces friction, effectively preventing chips from sticking and welding to the tool body.
• Finishing edge geometry: Precisely ground cutting edges ensure a smooth finish on machined surfaces.
• Monolithic carbide (VHM): The rigid and wear-resistant structure of the monolith reduces vibrations and maintains 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 class G2.5: Balancing in accordance with ISO standards guarantees vibration-free operation at very high speeds.

Intended use and scope:

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

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