YG1 86561TH 5/32″ Size, 9/16″ LOC, 5 Flute, Hardslick Solid Carbide Finishing End Mill Top Pick

Applications

Designed for detailed finishing in stainless steel and heat-resistant superalloys, the YG1 86561TH 5/32″ diameter, 9/16″ length of cut solid carbide end mill offers excellent rigidity and precision. Its 5-flute design paired with a 45° helix angle and Hardslick coating improves chip evacuation and surface finish, reducing built-up edge and enhancing tool life during high-speed machining. The combination of geometry and coating maintains sharp cutting edges and resists wear in challenging materials, making it suitable for finishing passes where surface quality is critical. The single-end, center-cutting design supports plunge cutting and slotting with controlled chip loads. Avoid using this tool on steel (ISO P) or non-ferrous materials, as the Hardslick coating is not well matched and will degrade rapidly. Its features align closely with finishing in stainless steel and HRSA, but it is not intended for roughing or machining not well suited materials.

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.
