straight router bit for foam & plastics VHM Z2 D16 I40 L160 S16 RH Finishing

Two-edged VHM finishing end mill for foams and plastics – neutral chip ejection and smooth edge

Index: SY26.16.040.160.16R

Industrial two-edged end mill made from solid carbide (VHM) with a simple blade geometry (neutral chip ejection to the sides). The Z2 design is intended for precise finishing of foams, plastics, and composite panels. The straight cutting edges do not exert vertical forces (neither pressing nor lifting), which prevents deformation of soft materials and guarantees a smooth finish on both sides of the detail. Polished chip channels reduce friction and prevent adhesion and melting of soft plastics. The tool is dedicated to finishing cuts, jointing, and slotting on CNC machining centres and spindle milling machines. The ground shank in class H6 eliminates radial runout and protects the spindle from vibrations.

Design advantages and technical properties:

• Two-edged straight geometry (Z2): A neutral cutting direction eliminates pressure and lifting of the material, protecting delicate structures from deformation.
• Polished chip grooves: A smooth surface facilitates free removal of waste, counteracting melting of materials and gluing of cutting edges.
• Solid carbide (VHM): A rigid design ensures dimensional stability and longer tool life during continuous operation.
• Low shank roughness (Ra ≤ 0.3 µm): The ground shank prevents slipping in the holder and protects the spindle taper from wear.
• Dynamic balancing G2.5: Compliance with ISO standards enables smooth, vibration-free operation at high rotational speeds.

Purpose and field of application:

The tool is intended for finishing cuts, jointing, and slotting of soft and hard plastic materials on CNC machines.

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