New Arrival YG1 55600 1″ Size, 3″ LOC, 4 Flute, Bright Solid Carbide Finishing End Mill

Applications

For precision finishing in non-ferrous materials, the YG1 55600 1″ Diameter, 3″ Length of Cut, 4 Flute Bright Solid Carbide Finishing End Mill provides a sturdy 3.0x length-to-diameter ratio. This size offers an effective balance of reach and stiffness, minimizing deflection during detailed profiling and finishing operations. Featuring a 30° helix angle and bright coating, along with four flutes, the tool reduces material buildup and ensures smooth chip evacuation on brass, bronze, and plastics. The bright coating and flute design work together to limit grabbing and heat buildup, critical for preserving edge quality and avoiding burrs or melting in softer materials. The 4-flute geometry supports stable cutting at higher feed rates, while the center cutting capability enables plunge cutting, enhancing versatility for complex non-ferrous machining tasks. A coated end mill is usually the better option for hard steels. Its design and coating are unsuitable for hardened or abrasive ferrous metals. This tool meets recommended standards for brass and acrylic finishing, ensuring reliable edge sharpness and chip control.

Features

• Suitable for cutting hardened & high alloy steels, steel casting, chill casting, malleable cast iron, CrNi-steels, brass, copper, aluminum with a high percentage of silicon and abrasive plastics.
