YG1 55904TE 3/16″ Size, 1″ LOC, 4 Flute, YG TiAlN Extreme Solid Carbide Finishing End Mill In Demand

Applications

Featuring a 3/16″ diameter with a 1″ length of cut, the YG1 55904TE solid carbide end mill offers a 5.33x length-to-diameter ratio that delivers rigidity and precision for tight or deep milling tasks. Its 4-flute design paired with a 30° helix angle and YG TiAlN Extreme coating provides a strong balance of chip evacuation and cutting edge durability, enhancing performance in free-machining steel and general milling. This combination supports efficient cutting speeds and tool longevity in steel and cast iron applications, conforming to best practices for low carbon steel slotting. This tool is unsuitable for non-ferrous materials due to coating unsuitability, which results in rapid wear and failure. With no corner radius, edge chipping prevention depends on coating and tool geometry, making it less ideal for interrupted cuts where corner radius tools excel. Its center-cutting capability permits plunge cutting, broadening its use in steel and similar materials. The end mill adheres to best combination guidelines for general milling of free-machining steels, offering a reliable finishing option with excellent reach and chip control. Avoid use on non-ferrous metals to preserve coating integrity and tool life.

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.
