Top Pick YG1 31565 3/16″ Size, 3/8″ LOC, 4 Flute, Bright Solid Carbide Finishing End Mill

Applications

This solid carbide 3/16″ finishing end mill features four flutes with a 30° helix angle, offering a slow helix that builds core strength for steady, precise cuts. Its bright finish coating targets aluminum, brass, bronze, copper, plastics, and general low-to-moderate speed machining where maintaining a sharp, polished cutting edge is critical. The single-end, center-cutting design enables plunge and ramp entry, expanding versatility in finishing operations. Without a corner radius, it delivers clean, sharp profiles on delicate or detailed features. The 3/8″ cut length and 2 inch overall length provide sufficient reach for common finishing depths while preserving rigidity. Operators should reach for this tool when machining non-ferrous metals and plastics requiring smooth finishes and controlled chip evacuation at moderate speeds.

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.
