YG-1 01556TF Square End Mill 2 Flute Solid Carbide Tialn

Product Description

The YG-1 01556TF is a 2-flute, solid carbide square end mill designed for precision metal removal in demanding machining environments. Measuring 3/32 inch in diameter with a 1/2 inch length of cut and 1-1/2 inch overall length, this tool is built for tight-tolerance work in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The micrograin carbide substrate provides rigidity and wear resistance, while the TiAlN coating extends tool life at elevated cutting temperatures. A 30-degree right-hand spiral helix promotes efficient chip evacuation and stable cutting action. Machinists and toolroom operators select this end mill for high-performance slotting, profiling, and contouring operations.

This end mill is suited for machining steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and non-ferrous metals in both production and job-shop settings. The straight cylindrical shank seats cleanly in standard collet chucks and end mill holders. The regular-length geometry makes it well suited for CNC machining centers and manual knee mills where a compact, rigid tool is needed. Primary workpiece materials include steel and stainless steel, with secondary compatibility across cast iron and non-ferrous metals.

Key Features

• Solid micrograin carbide construction for rigidity and extended tool life
• TiAlN coating for high-temperature wear resistance when cutting steel and stainless
• 30-degree right-hand spiral helix for efficient chip evacuation
• 2-flute geometry supports slotting and profiling in ferrous and non-ferrous materials
• Straight cylindrical shank fits standard collet chucks and end mill holders
• Right-hand cutting direction compatible with conventional CNC and manual milling setups

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard collet chucks and end mill holders accepting a 1/8 inch straight cylindrical shank. Primary workpiece materials are steel and stainless steel; secondary materials include cast iron and non-ferrous metals.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist familiar with proper tool holding and runout specifications. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and locked before inserting or removing the tool from the holder. Verify collet condition and holder cleanliness before seating the shank to maintain concentricity within the shank diameter tolerance of +0.0000 to -0.0005 inches. Follow machine manufacturer guidelines and applicable shop safety protocols when setting cutting parameters for the workpiece material.
