Product description
VELOCITY solid carbide end mill — ZrN, 4 flutes
Variable helix 39.5° / 40.5° · cutting diameters Ø1–20 mm · overall lengths 50–150 mm
VELOCITY is a solid carbide end mill with four flutes and a ZrN coating. Its variable 39.5° / 40.5° helix and unequal flute spacing are geometry features designed to help reduce vibration during milling.
Choose the tool for the workpiece material, required cutting diameter and reach. The full variant code specifies cutting diameter, cutting length, shank diameter and overall length separately. Available size combinations are shown in the variant selector.
1. Applications and workpiece materials
The VELOCITY ZrN series is intended for milling non-ferrous metals, including aluminium, copper and titanium. Cutting conditions must be selected for the specific alloy, material condition and machining setup.
| Material | Selection considerations |
|---|---|
| Aluminium and its alloys | Consider the alloy, lubrication and chip evacuation. For full-width slotting, select the cutting load to suit the four-flute geometry. |
| Copper and its alloys | Adapt cutting conditions to the alloy and required surface quality. Use cooling or lubrication appropriate to the operation. |
| Titanium | Select cutting conditions for the grade, clamping rigidity and tool overhang. Do not transfer settings directly from aluminium machining. |
| Mild steels | Assess suitability for the specific material and operation. The coating name alone does not define the required cutting conditions. |
2. Construction and technical specifications
The carbide body and cutting section form a single solid tool. The ZrN coating helps limit friction and material adhesion. Variable helix and unequal flute spacing do not replace correct clamping, cutting conditions and runout checks.
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| Tool type | Solid end mill |
| Series | VELOCITY |
| Tool material | VHM — solid carbide |
| Coating | ZrN |
| Flutes | 4 — Z4 |
| Flute geometry | Variable helix 39.5° / 40.5°; unequal flute spacing |
| Cutting diameter | Ø1–20 mm, depending on the variant |
| Shank diameter | Ø3–20 mm, depending on the variant |
| Overall length | 50, 60, 75, 100 or 150 mm, depending on the variant |
| Sales unit | 1 piece |
These ranges describe the series. Not every cutting diameter is offered with every length and shank diameter. Read the full variant code for the dimensions of the selected tool.
3. Understanding the variant code
Example: Ø6x15x6Dx50L. All four values represent dimensions in millimetres.
| Code element | Meaning | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Ø6 | Cutting diameter | 6 mm |
| 15 | Cutting length | 15 mm |
| 6D | Shank diameter | 6 mm |
| 50L | Overall length | 50 mm |
4. Selection and working conditions
- Match both diameters. Cutting diameter describes the cutting section. Select the holder separately for the shank diameter indicated by D.
- Select the length for the part. Check cutting length, required access and holder clearance. Keep overhang as short as practical.
- Check clamping. Clean the shank and holder, inspect their condition and check runout after clamping.
- Provide cooling and chip evacuation. The working method should suit the material and operation geometry.
- Set cutting conditions for the actual job. Speed, feed and flute engagement depend on material, diameter, overhang and system rigidity. Extended tools require their greater overhang to be taken into account.
5. What your order includes
You receive 1 VELOCITY solid carbide ZrN end mill with four flutes, in the selected size. The order quantity specifies the number of tools of that variant.
6. Frequently asked questions
Does Z4 mean four tools?
Z4 means four flutes on one end mill. The sales unit is one tool.
Is shank diameter always equal to cutting diameter?
No. For example, Ø1x3x4Dx50L has a Ø1 mm cutting diameter and a Ø4 mm shank. Check the value followed by D.
Does variable helix eliminate all vibration?
The geometry helps reduce vibration, but the result also depends on clamping, overhang, the part and cutting conditions.
What information is needed to select the tool?
Specify material grade, operation type, required dimensions, planned overhang and clamping diameter. These details help assess the right size and working conditions.
