YG-1 95102 Roughing End Mill 5/16 Inch 4 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The YG-1 95102 is a solid carbide roughing end mill designed for aggressive material removal in milling applications. With a 5/16 inch cutting diameter and matching 5/16 inch shank, this tool mounts directly into standard collet chucks and end mill holders. The four-flute geometry produces a chip-breaking cut pattern that reduces cutting forces and heat buildup during roughing passes. The uncoated solid carbide construction provides rigidity and wear resistance across a broad range of workpiece materials. This tool is intended for use by machinists and tooling professionals working on CNC mills, manual mills, and similar machine tool setups.

The YG-1 95102 suits roughing operations where rapid stock removal is the priority before finishing passes. The single-end configuration means the tool is used from one cutting end only. The non-centercutting design means this end mill should not be plunged axially into a workpiece - it requires a pre-drilled entry point or ramping entry for pocket work. Typical applications include profiling, slotting, and peripheral roughing on ferrous and non-ferrous metals in job shop and production environments.

Key Features

• 5/16 inch solid carbide body for stiffness and vibration resistance during heavy cuts
• Four flutes for efficient chip evacuation and balanced cutting forces
• Uncoated finish suitable for use with or without cutting fluid across compatible materials
• Non-centercutting single-end design - requires ramping or pre-drilled entry for plunge operations
• 5/16 inch shank fits standard collets and end mill holders sized for that bore

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct tooling option for standard 5/16 inch collet and end mill holder setups on CNC and manual milling machines.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists following standard toolholding procedures. Ensure the machine spindle is fully powered down and at rest before inserting or removing end mills from any holder. Use a properly sized collet or end mill holder torqued to the machine manufacturer's specifications - do not use an undersized collet as this can cause tool pullout under load. Because this is a non-centercutting tool, program ramp entries or start from an existing bore to avoid axial overload.
