Fast Shipping YG1 85579 5/16″ Size, 7/16″ LOC, 5 Flute, Bright Solid Carbide Finishing End Mill

Applications

The YG1 85579 finishing end mill has a 5/16″ diameter and 7/16″ length of cut, with 5 flutes and a bright solid carbide construction designed to enhance rigidity and precision in finishing operations. Its stub length boosts stability, while the 45° helix angle and bright coating provide a smooth, low-friction cutting experience that minimizes built-up edge and yields clean surfaces on non-ferrous materials. This size and flute count balance chip evacuation with surface finish, making it ideal for finishing walls and floors in aluminum alloys such as 6061 and 6082. Travers Tool supplies this end mill with polished geometry that prevents welding and smearing, especially during slotting and pocketing of gummy copper alloys. The combination of high helix angle and bright coating supports efficient chip flow and reduces heat buildup, extending tool life in finishing operations. Its center cutting design also permits plunge cutting without sacrificing performance. Hard steel applications are usually better handled by coated end mills. Without a corner radius, preventing edge chipping depends on proper feed rates and avoiding interrupted cuts. This product aligns with best practices for finishing non-ferrous metals, particularly aluminum and copper alloys.

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.
