Applications

The YG1 33561TF solid carbide finishing end mill, with a 5/32″ diameter and 5/16″ length of cut, provides rigidity and precision in a stub length format. Its four-flute geometry paired with a 30° helix angle and YG TiAlN Futura coating offers excellent abrasion resistance and chip evacuation, ideal for the abrasive characteristics of cast iron. This tool’s center cutting ability enables plunge cutting and slotting with controlled chip load. This configuration aligns closely with recommended setups for gray cast iron roughing and finishing, where abrasion resistance and edge stability are critical. The absence of a corner radius requires careful handling to prevent chipping in interrupted cuts but permits sharp corner detailing on workpieces. Avoid use on non-ferrous materials as the coating is not ideal and prone to premature wear. While capable of machining steel, stainless steel, and HRSA, its primary strength lies in cast iron applications where the coating and geometry help extend tool life and maintain finish quality.
