YG-1 93488 Ball End Mill

Product Description

The YG-1 93488 is a ball end mill used for milling contoured surfaces, slots, pockets, and complex three-dimensional profiles in metalworking and machining applications. Ball end mills feature a hemispherical cutting tip that allows the tool to produce curved surfaces and blend radii that flat or corner-radius end mills cannot achieve. This tool is intended for use in CNC machining centers, vertical mills, and manual milling machines by machinists and tool-and-die professionals. At 0.04 pounds, it is a compact, single-piece cutting tool suited for precision work.

Ball end mills from YG-1 are commonly used in mold-making, die work, and general precision machining where curved geometry or surface contouring is required. This tool is appropriate for both roughing and finishing passes depending on feed rate, depth of cut, and material hardness. It is suited for shops working with ferrous and non-ferrous metals, plastics, and composites where profile accuracy is critical.

Key Features

• Hemispherical cutting tip for contouring, profiling, and blending radii
• Compact and lightweight at 0.04 pounds for use in precision setups
• Single-piece construction for consistent tool geometry
• Suitable for CNC and manual milling machine applications
• Designed for metalworking, mold-making, and die-work environments

Compatibility

Designed as a standard shank ball end mill compatible with milling machine collets and tool holders accepting the corresponding shank diameter; verify shank size and collet compatibility before installation.

Installation Notes

Ball end mills are installed by machinists using an appropriate collet or end mill holder matched to the shank diameter of the tool. The spindle must be fully stopped and locked before inserting or removing the tool. Ensure the tool is seated to the proper depth in the holder and that set screws or collet nuts are tightened to the holder manufacturer's specification. Verify runout with a dial indicator before beginning a cut to avoid premature tool wear or workpiece damage.
