Price Cut YG1 33579 5/16″ Size, 1/2″ LOC, 4 Flute, Bright Solid Carbide Finishing End Mill

Applications

The YG1 33579 5/16″ diameter, 1/2″ length of cut, 4-flute bright solid carbide finishing end mill is engineered for detailed profiling and finishing tasks, delivering rigidity and precision. Its stub length enhances stability and control during shallow cuts, reducing deflection and improving surface finish quality. The 30° helix angle, bright coating, and four flutes combine to form a sharp, low-friction cutting edge that minimizes grabbing and heat buildup when machining free-machining non-ferrous metals such as brass and bronze. This tool performs exceptionally in applications requiring fine edge finishes and smooth surfaces, especially in non-ferrous materials and cast iron. The bright coating aids chip evacuation and reduces built-up edge, while the 4-flute geometry balances feed rates and chip clearance efficiently. The center-cutting design allows precise plunge cutting and slotting. A coated end mill is usually the better option for hard steels. Its geometry and coating are tailored specifically for non-ferrous and cast iron materials, not for high-hardness or stainless steel applications.

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.
