straight router bit for foam & plastics VHM Z2 D10 I15 L60 S10 RH Finishing

Two-flute finishing end mill for foams and plastics – neutral chip removal and smooth edge

Index: SY26.10.015.060.10XR

Industrial two-flute end mill made from solid tungsten carbide (VHM) with a simple cutting edge geometry (neutral chip removal to the sides). The Z2 design has been developed for precise finishing of foams, plastics, and composite panels. The straight cutting edges do not create vertical forces (neither pressing nor lifting), preventing the deformation of soft materials and ensuring a smooth finish on both sides of the detail. Polished chipways reduce friction and prevent sticking and melting of soft plastics. The tool is dedicated to finishing cuts, joining, and grooving on CNC machining centres and overhead spindle milling machines. The ground shank in class H6 eliminates radial runout and protects the spindle from vibrations.

Design advantages and technical properties:

• Two-flute simple geometry (Z2): Neutral cutting direction eliminates pressure and lifting of the material, protecting delicate structures from deformation.
• Polished chipways: Smooth surface facilitates easy removal of chips, preventing the melting of materials and sticking of cutting edges.
• Solid tungsten carbide (VHM): Sturdy construction guarantees dimensional stability and longer tool life during continuous operation.
• Low shank roughness (Ra ≤ 0.3 µm): Ground shank prevents slipping in the holder and protects the spindle cone from wear.
• Dynamic balancing G2.5: Compliance with ISO standards allows for smooth, vibration-free operation at high rotational speeds.

• Protective NaDia coating: A specialised protective layer with a very low coefficient of friction (0.01–0.05) and high hardness (3650 HV 0.05) protects the cutting edge from wear, prevents chip sticking, and significantly extends tool life.

Intended use and application range:

The tool is designed for finishing cutting, joining, and grooving of soft and hard plastic materials on CNC machines.

Used for processing materials such as: technical foams (PE, PUR), plastics (PMMA, PVC, PE), as well as composite materials like CORIAN® and HPL.
