Three-flute spiral end mill made of solid carbide for aluminium and plastics with upward chip removal – high performance roughing

Index: SR33.16.032.090.16R

Industrial three-flute spiral end mill made of solid carbides with a roughing geometry and upward chip removal. Designed for demanding cutting operations and efficient removal of large material excesses in aluminium, plastics, and composites. The specially profiled cutting edge breaks the chips into smaller pieces, reducing cutting resistance, preventing clogging of channels, and reducing spindle load. The arrangement of three cutting edges in combination with a right-hand spiral ensures higher tool rigidity and effectively removes chips from the material underside. The ground shank in accuracy class H6 eliminates radial run-out, protecting the machine's drive system.

Structural advantages and technical properties:

• Roughing geometry with chip breaker: The profiled teeth break the chip into small elements, reducing cutting resistance and preventing the workpiece from getting stuck.
• Three-flute design Z3: Three cutting edges allow for increased feed speed while maintaining smooth operation and high body rigidity.
• Positive geometry: The right-hand spiral lifts the chips upwards, protecting the bottom edge of the workpiece from damage.
• Polished chip grooves: The mirror-like surface of the spiral reduces friction and prevents the workpiece from sticking to the tool body.
• Solid carbide (VHM): The rigid and wear-resistant structure of the solid ensures durability when working with large excesses.
• 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 according to ISO standards ensures vibration-free operation at very high speeds.

Intended use and application range:

The tool is designed for rough cutting, grooving, and welding operations in aluminium, plastics, and composite materials on CNC machining centres.

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