YG1 31554 1/16″ Size, 1/8″ LOC, 4 Flute, Bright Solid Carbide Finishing End Mill Trending

Applications

This YG1 E5245 solid carbide finishing end mill features a 1/16″ diameter with four flutes and a 30° slow helix designed to maintain core strength for steady, precise cuts. Its bright finish coating suits aluminum, brass, bronze, copper, plastics, and general low-to-moderate speed machining where a sharp, polished cutting edge is essential. The single-end, center-cutting design enables plunge and ramp entry, delivering versatility in finishing operations. The 1/8″ cut length and 1-1/2″ overall length provide a balance between reach and rigidity, supporting fine detail work in tight spaces. Operators should select this tool for smooth surface finishes on soft to moderately hard non-ferrous materials and plastics, taking advantage of its polished edge and slow helix to reduce built-up edge and ensure consistent chip evacuation.
