Three-flute VHM spiral milling cutter for aluminium and plastics with upward chip removal – high roughing machining performance

Index: SR33.16.055.110.16R

Industrial three-flute spiral milling cutter made from solid carbide with roughing geometry and upward chip removal. Dedicated to demanding cutting operations and efficient removal of large excess material in aluminium, plastics, and composites. The specially profiled cutting edge breaks up the chips into smaller fragments, reducing cutting resistance, preventing the clogging of channels, and lowering spindle load. The arrangement of three cutting edges in combination with a right-hand spiral provides greater tool rigidity and effectively removes chips from the underside of the material. The ground shank with an accuracy class of H6 eliminates radial runout, protecting the machine's drive system.

Construction advantages and technical properties:

• Roughing geometry with chip breaker: The profiled teeth break the chip into small pieces, reducing cutting resistance and preventing clogging of the workpiece.
• Three-flute Z3 design: Three cutting edges allow for increased feed rates while maintaining smooth operation and high rigidity of the body.
• Positive geometry: Right-hand spiral lifts the chips upwards, protecting the lower edge of the processed material from damage.
• Polished chip grooves: The mirrored surface of the spiral reduces friction and prevents chips from sticking to the tool body.
• Solid carbide (VHM): The rigid and wear-resistant structure of the solid guarantees durability when working with large excess material.
• Low grip 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 scope of application:

The tool is intended for rough cutting, splitting, and jointing operations in aluminium, plastics, and composite materials on CNC machining centres.

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