Popular YG1 07555TH 5/16″ Size, 3/16″ LOC, 4 Flute, Hardslick Solid Carbide Finishing End Mill

Little to no coolant required with TiAlN Futura Coating!

Applications

Designed for detailed finishing in cast iron, the YG1 07555TH 5/16″ diameter solid carbide end mill features a 3/16″ length of cut that enhances tool rigidity and precision. Its stub length is engineered to minimize deflection during high-accuracy milling tasks. Combining a 30° helix angle with 4 flutes, this tool achieves an effective balance between chip evacuation and smooth cutting, which reduces vibration and improves surface finish.
The Hardslick coating works synergistically with this geometry by minimizing built-up edge and wear, especially in abrasive cast iron and stainless steel applications. This combination ensures reliable performance during finishing passes where surface quality is paramount. Additionally, the tools center cutting ability allows plunge cuts and slotting with controlled chip flow.
Users should avoid applying this tool on steel (ISO P) or non-ferrous materials, as the Hardslick coating is not well matched and prone to rapid degradation. Since the tool lacks a corner radius, edge chipping resistance depends on the coating and geometry rather than radius-induced toughness, warranting caution during interrupted cuts.
