Premium YG1 86558TE 1/8″ Size, 1/2″ LOC, 5 Flute, YG TiAlN Extreme Solid Carbide Finishing End Mill

Applications

The YG1 86558TE 1/8″ Size, 1/2″ Length of Cut, 5 Flute, YG TiAlN Extreme Solid Carbide Finishing End Mill delivers a precise and rigid cutting solution with a 4.0x LOC to diameter ratio. This size affords excellent reach and stability during finishing tasks involving steel and similar materials. Its 45° helix angle combined with a 5-flute design and TiAlN Extreme coating promotes superior surface finish, chip evacuation, and tool durability under light radial stock removal. This configuration aligns closely with recommended setups for finishing low carbon steels 1018 and A36, as referenced in Best Combinations. The synergy between geometry and coating reduces edge chipping and enhances wear resistance across steel, stainless steel, HRSA, and cast iron applications. With center-cutting capability, plunge cutting becomes feasible, expanding its versatility for complex machining. Travers offers this tool as a reliable choice when rigidity and surface quality are paramount. Avoid deploying this end mill on non-ferrous materials since the TiAlN Extreme coating is not well suited and will degrade swiftly. The absence of a corner radius necessitates careful feed management to prevent chipping during interrupted cuts or roughing.

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.
