YG1 85558 1/8″ Size, 1/4″ LOC, 5 Flute, Bright Solid Carbide Finishing End Mill In Demand

Applications

Excelling in precision finishing on non-ferrous metals, the YG1 85558 1/8″ Diameter, 1/4″ Length of Cut, 5 Flute Bright Solid Carbide Finishing End Mill provides excellent rigidity and control for detailed, stub-reach applications. Its 1/8″ diameter combined with a short 1/4″ cutting length facilitates precise work. The 45° helix angle, five-flute layout, and bright coating create a low-friction cutting environment that minimizes built-up edge, delivering clean surface finishes particularly on aluminum alloys such as 6061 and 6082. This configuration also suits slotting and pocketing in gummy copper alloys by preventing welding and smearing through sharp polished edges and large flute valleys. The tools absence of a corner radius reduces edge chipping during finishing cuts, preserving tool integrity. Hard steels are generally better suited to coated end mills. This end mill aligns with recommended finishing applications for non-ferrous materials, offering smooth wall and floor finishes. Its stub length and high helix angle optimize chip evacuation and surface quality in soft to moderately hard non-ferrous substrates.

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.
