YG1 85573TF 1/4″ Size, 3/8″ LOC, 5 Flute, YG TiAlN Futura Solid Carbide Finishing End Mill Same Day Shipping

Applications

Offering a 1/4″ diameter and 3/8″ length of cut, the YG1 85573TF solid carbide finishing end mill features 5 flutes coated with TiAlN Futura. This tool excels in steel and similar materials finishing, combining a 45° helix angle and a high flute count to enhance surface finish quality while effectively managing heat during light radial stock removal. It is particularly well-suited for finishing low carbon steel 1018/A36, aligning closely with recommended best practice combinations. Its single end design and stub length provide stable, controlled machining in tight tolerance environments, reducing chatter and improving dimensional accuracy. The absence of a corner radius requires careful handling to prevent chipping, especially during interrupted cuts. The center cutting feature allows plunge cutting, increasing versatility in complex milling tasks. Users should avoid applying this end mill to non-ferrous materials as the TiAlN Futura coating is poorly matched and will degrade rapidly. It is not intended for heavy roughing or materials outside its specified range, such as plastics or hard materials, where its coating and geometry are not optimal.

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.
