Special Offer YG1 84579TF 5/16″ Size, 7/8″ LOC, 6 Flute, YG TiAlN Futura Solid Carbide Finishing End Mill

Applications

The YG1 84579TF solid carbide finishing end mill combines a 5/16″ diameter with a 7/8″ length of cut for a balanced reach and rigidity tailored to precise finishing in steel and similar materials. Featuring six flutes and a 40° helix angle, the TiAlN Futura coating delivers excellent surface finish and efficient chip evacuation, reducing tool wear during light radial stock removal. This configuration aligns with recommended finishing parameters for low carbon steels such as 1018 and A36, where a high flute count and variable pitch improve finish quality. This center-cutting, single-ended tool supports plunge and ramping operations. Its lack of a corner radius emphasizes sharp edge definition but requires careful feed control to avoid chipping. The TiAlN Futura coating is suitable for steel, stainless steel, HRSA, and cast iron but not suggested for use with non-ferrous metals, which should be avoided to prevent premature failure. Avoid using this end mill on non-ferrous materials due to coating limitations. It is not recommended for heavy roughing or interrupted cuts in hard materials, where a corner radius or different coating would be beneficial. This tool excels in finishing tasks demanding precision and high surface quality in ferrous alloys.
