YG1 55565 3/16″ Size, 1-1/8″ LOC, 4 Flute, Bright Solid Carbide Finishing End Mill Express Delivery

Applications

The YG1 55565 solid carbide finishing end mill features a 3/16″ diameter and a 1-1/8″ length of cut, offering a 6.0x length-to-diameter ratio that provides rigidity and precision in confined or deep features. This size is ideal for detailed finishing operations where minimizing tool deflection is critical. Its bright coating, coupled with a 30° helix angle and four-flute design, produces a sharp, polished cutting edge that reduces friction and prevents material buildup. This combination enhances surface finish quality and chip evacuation, especially in non-ferrous materials like brass and bronze, reflecting best practices for profiling and finishing these alloys. Coated end mills generally deliver better results on hard steels. While it can machine cast iron, its primary strength is in non-ferrous applications where sharpness and low friction are essential to prevent melting or burr formation.

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.
