YG1 55593TD 1/2″ Size, 3″ LOC, 4 Flute, Diamond Solid Carbide Finishing End Mill Must Have

Applications

Offering a 6.0x length-to-diameter ratio, the YG1 55593TD 1/2″ Size, 3″ Length of Cut, 4 Flute Diamond Solid Carbide Finishing End Mill is designed for precision profiling and trimming in non-ferrous materials. Its 30° helix angle, diamond coating, and four flutes combine to enhance shearing action and abrasion resistance, making it particularly effective when machining abrasive carbon or glass fiber composites. This combination helps reduce edge wear and maintains sharpness in challenging composite materials. This tool is unsuitable for steel, stainless steel, or cast iron applications due to the diamond coatings unsuitability, which would accelerate tool degradation. Without a corner radius, the design emphasizes finishing cuts where chipping is less of a concern. The geometry and coating correspond to recommended setups for abrasive fiber composites, making the end mill ideal for profiling and trimming where fiber shearing is required rather than traditional metal cutting. Use on ferrous metals should be avoided to preserve tool longevity and performance.

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.
