YG-1 08593TF Square End Mill 1/2 in 4 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The YG-1 08593TF is a square end mill designed for material removal in ferrous and non-ferrous machining applications. Built from micrograin solid carbide with a TiAlN coating, it handles steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and non-ferrous metals in demanding cutting environments. The 4-flute, right-hand spiral configuration with a 30-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and stable cutting at elevated speeds. With a 2-inch length of cut and 4-inch overall length, this is a long-reach tool suited for deeper pocketing and slotting passes. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals working on CNC machining centers are the primary users of this tool.

This end mill fits standard production and job-shop machining work involving steel components, stainless fabrications, cast iron parts, and non-ferrous workpieces. The straight-cylindrical, 1/2-inch shank seats into standard collet chucks and end mill holders on vertical or horizontal machining centers. Its long length-of-cut classification makes it appropriate for deep slots, pockets, and profiling passes where a standard-length tool cannot reach. It is not centercutting, so it is not suited for direct plunge entry.

Key Features

• Micrograin solid carbide construction for rigidity and edge retention in hard materials
• TiAlN coating provides heat resistance and extended tool life in steel and stainless steel cuts
• 30-degree right-hand helix promotes smooth chip flow and reduced cutting forces
• 4-flute design balances material removal rate with chip gullet capacity
• Long series length of cut (2 inches) enables deep pocket and slot machining
• Right-hand cutting direction compatible with standard CNC spindle rotation

Compatibility

Compatible with primary workpiece materials including steel (ISO P), stainless steel (ISO M), cast iron (ISO K), and non-ferrous metals (ISO N). Fits standard 1/2-inch collet chucks and end mill holders. This tool is not centercutting and is not designed for direct plunge milling operations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC setup technician. Secure the shank fully into a collet or end mill holder to the recommended gauge-line depth before tightening. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the control is in a safe state before any tool change. Verify runout with a dial indicator after seating; excessive runout will accelerate edge wear and reduce surface finish quality on the workpiece.
