Applications

The YG1 85584TF 3/8″ diameter, 1/2″ length of cut solid carbide finishing end mill provides rigidity and precision in a stub length format. Featuring five flutes, a 45° helix angle, and TiAlN Futura coating, it offers smooth chip evacuation and superior surface finish on steel and similar materials. This size is ideal for finishing operations demanding tight tolerances and high-quality surface finishes. This end mill balances flute count and helix angle to reduce vibration and optimize chip flow. The TiAlN Futura coating adds heat resistance and wear protection, extending tool life during finishing cuts. The absence of a corner radius concentrates cutting forces on the sharp edge, benefiting precision but requiring careful handling to avoid chipping in interrupted cuts. Users should avoid this tool on non-ferrous materials since the TiAlN Futura coating is not well suited and will degrade rapidly. It is also less suitable for roughing or heavy material removal due to its finishing-oriented geometry and flute count. This tool aligns closely with finishing low carbon steels such as 1018 and A36, where higher flute counts and variable pitch improve surface finish with light radial stock.

Features

• Designed to machining stainless steel, inconels and other alloys.
• The new design of stub length allows cutting at maximum speeds and feeds with minimum deflection.
• 5 Flute and 45 degree medium helix allow harmonic balance and smooth cutting.
