Single-Edged Spiral End Mill VHM for PLEXI with Upward Chip Removal

Index: ST01.06.022.060.06R

Industrial single-edged spiral end mill made of solid hard metal (VHM) with a positive geometry (upward chip removal). Designed for precision cutting, edging, and aligning edges in plexiglass, plastics, and composites on CNC machines and overhead spindle mills. The finishing geometry with a single blade (Z1) combined with a polished chip groove effectively prevents sticking and melting of the machined material. The right-hand screw thread efficiently removes chips upward, protecting the cutting zone from overheating and ensuring a smooth edge without the need for additional polishing. The ground shank in accuracy class H6 eliminates radial runout, protecting the machine's drive system.

Design Advantages and Technical Properties:

• Single-Edge Design Z1 (Positive): The single cutting blade allows for fast removal of large amounts of chips, minimising friction and the risk of overheating the material.
• Polished Chip Groove: The mirror surface of the spiral prevents sticking and secondary welding of chips to the tool body.
• Finishing Blade Geometry: The precisely sharpened edge ensures the cleanliness and smoothness of the edge after cutting.
• Solid Hard Metal (VHM): The rigid VHM construction reduces vibrations and maintains dimensional accuracy.
• Low Roughness of Shank (Ra ≤ 0.3 µm): The ground shank surface 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 rotational speeds.

Purpose and Application Range:

This tool is designed for cutting operations as well as edging and aligning edges in plastics on CNC machining centres.

Used for machining materials such as: PLEXI (acrylic), plastics, ALUCOBOND® panels, ALUCOBOND® A2, and composites like CORIAN® and HPL.
