Trend Professional Aluminium Cutter, 8mm Shank, Cut Diameter & 14mm Length, High Speed Steel, 50/08X8MMHSSE

The Single Flute Helical Aluminium Cutter is designed specifically for the precision routing of UPVC, aluminium, and anodised aluminium, making it an indispensable tool for window and door fabricators. With an 8mm diameter and an 8mm shank, this cutter excels in slotting, grooving, and milling clean and accurate apertures for aluminium components.

Optimised Design

This cutter features a helical up-cut design, which not only facilitates a shearing cut but also ensures rapid clearance of waste material during operation. This design enhances the cutter's overall efficiency, allowing for smoother and faster machining processes. The geometry of the cutter is tailored for plunging and lateral milling, making it versatile for various applications in machining aluminium and UPVC extrusions.

Professional Grade <a class='cat-link' href='https://bigshopper.co.uk/brand/material/'>Material</a>

Manufactured from High-Speed Steel (HSS) and enhanced with special high-speed steel (HSSE), this cutter is built to withstand the abrasiveness of anodised finishes. The material ensures a clean cut whilst providing professional-grade durability and performance. It is engineered to deliver consistent results, even when working with the most challenging materials.

<a class='cat-link' href='https://bigshopper.co.uk/brand/performance/'>Performance</a> and Speed Recommendations

The recommended operating speed for this cutter ranges from 10,000 to 12,000 RPM. For optimal results and to extend the lifespan of the tool, it is advisable to employ a coolant, wax stick, or lubricant during use. This practice not only helps maintain cutting efficiency but also mitigates heat build-up, which can adversely affect the cutter's longevity.

Safety Features

Safety is paramount when working with routing tools, and this cutter includes a safety “K” mark on the shank to indicate the correct insertion position for maximum router collet grip. Furthermore, it is essential to securely clamp the materials being machined in a machine vice to ensure both safety and precision throughout the operation. The single flute helical design promotes effective cutting while minimizing potential risks associated with loose or improperly secured workpieces.

In summary, the Single Flute Helical Aluminium Cutter is a professional-grade tool essential for those involved in the fabrication of window and door frames. Its optimized design, high-quality materials, and operational efficiency make it suitable for both industrial and professional use, delivering clean and accurate results across a range of applications in aluminium and UPVC extrusion machining.
