Latest YG1 55588TC 7/16″ Size, 3″ LOC, 4 Flute, TiCN Solid Carbide Finishing End Mill

Applications

Designed for deeper milling with extended reach, the YG1 55588TC 7/16″ Size, 3″ Length of Cut, 4 Flute TiCN Solid Carbide Finishing End Mill features a 6.86x length-to-diameter ratio that provides both rigidity and precision. This size balances stiffness and reach, making it well suited for detailed finishing passes in steel and cast iron components. Its 30° helix angle, TiCN coating, and 4-flute geometry combine to promote smooth chip evacuation and reduce cutting forces, thereby enhancing surface finish and tool life when machining free-machining steel and non-ferrous materials. The center-cutting design enables plunge cutting, adding versatility for complex milling tasks. This tool should be avoided on heat-resistant superalloys (HRSA) due to coating unsuitability, which causes rapid wear. Additionally, the absence of a corner radius means it is not optimal for interrupted cuts where edge chipping could occur.

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.
