Best Choice YG1 85588 7/16″ Size, 9/16″ LOC, 5 Flute, Bright Solid Carbide Finishing End Mill

Applications

The YG1 85588 7/16″ size solid carbide finishing end mill with a 9/16″ length of cut and 5 flutes offers a stub length to diameter ratio near 1.29, ensuring rigidity and precision in finishing applications on non-ferrous materials. This size balances reach and stiffness, making it well-suited for detailed wall and floor finishing where precise control is essential. Its 45° helix angle teamed with a bright coating and five flutes creates a low-friction cutting environment that minimizes built-up edge and delivers clean cuts. Polished geometry and large flute valleys prevent welding and smearing during slotting and pocketing, particularly in gummy copper alloys. This combination fits recommended parameters for finishing 6061/6082 aluminum and copper alloys. A coated end mill is usually the better option for hard steels. Travers provides this end mill as a dependable option for non-ferrous and select HRSA applications where fine finishes and controlled chip evacuation are priorities.

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.
