Time-Limited YG1 85584TH 3/8″ Size, 1/2″ LOC, 5 Flute, Hardslick Solid Carbide Finishing End Mill

Applications

Featuring a 3/8″ diameter and 1/2″ length of cut, the YG1 85584TH 5 flute solid carbide finishing end mill offers outstanding rigidity and precision for shallow finishing passes in stainless steel and heat-resistant superalloys. Its 45° helix angle combined with five flutes improves chip evacuation and surface finish, reducing chatter and enhancing dimensional accuracy in difficult-to-machine materials. The Hardslick coating complements this geometry by resisting wear and minimizing built-up edge, thereby extending tool life during finishing. This end mill is not appropriate for steel (ISO P) or non-ferrous materials due to coating unsuitability that could cause premature wear or failure. The stub length to diameter ratio of 1.33 ensures high rigidity but limits suitability for deep slotting or roughing requiring longer reach. The lack of a corner radius focuses on sharp edge finishes but demands careful feed control to prevent chipping during interrupted cuts. This tool is ideally matched to finishing stainless steel and HRSA where tool stability and surface quality are essential.

Features

• Designed to machining stainless steel, inconels and other alloys.
• The new design of stub length allows cutting at maximum speeds and feeds with minimum deflection.
• 5 Flute and 45 degree medium helix allow harmonic balance and smooth cutting.
