Fan Favorite YG1 55595TE 5/8″ Size, 3″ LOC, 4 Flute, YG TiAlN Extreme Solid Carbide Finishing End Mill

Applications

Offering a 5/8″ diameter and 3″ cutting length, the YG1 55595TE solid carbide end mill from Travers Tool Co is engineered for precise milling in steel. Its 4-flute design combined with a 30° helix angle and YG TiAlN Extreme coating delivers optimal chip evacuation and cutting edge strength, ideal for general milling and slotting in free-machining steels. This end mill aligns with recommended machining practices for low-carbon and free-machining steels, where its coating and geometry improve tool life and surface finish. The absence of a corner radius focuses on precise straight-edge cuts but necessitates careful feed control to avoid edge chipping during interrupted cuts. Avoid applying this tool to non-ferrous materials (ISO N) due to coating unsuitability, which would lead to rapid wear. It’s also less effective in applications requiring corner radius benefits or when machining highly abrasive materials outside its specified range.

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.
