YG-1 G8A46906 Ball End Mill 1.50mm 2 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The YG-1 G8A46906 is a solid carbide ball end mill engineered for precise milling in steel and hard materials. Built on the G8A46 series platform, it features a 1.50 mm cutting diameter with a 0.75 mm nose radius and a 1.20 mm length of cut. The nanograin carbide substrate provides the edge toughness and wear resistance required for demanding roughing and finishing operations. A BLUE PVD coating reduces friction and extends tool life in ferrous and hard-material applications. The 30-degree medium helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and stable cutting geometry. This tool is installed by machinists and CNC tooling specialists working in precision manufacturing environments.

This end mill is suited for both roughing and finishing passes on steel and hard material workpieces in CNC machining centers and manual mills. The extended-reach configuration, with a 12.00 mm reach length and a 10.80 mm neck length, allows access to deep or restricted features without sacrificing rigidity. The 4.00 mm straight-cylindrical shank fits standard collet systems used in metric tooling setups. Right-hand cut and right-hand flute direction make it compatible with conventional CNC spindle configurations.

Key Features

• Nanograin solid carbide substrate for edge toughness in steel and hard materials
• BLUE PVD coating reduces friction and extends tool life on ferrous workpieces
• Extended-reach geometry with 12.00 mm reach length for access to deep features
• 30-degree medium helix angle supports efficient chip flow in roughing and finishing
• 0.75 mm nose radius ball profile for accurate contour and 3D surface milling
• No coolant-through requirement - compatible with external coolant or dry cutting setups

Compatibility

Designed for use in CNC machining centers and milling machines accepting a 4.00 mm straight-cylindrical shank with h6 tolerance. Primary workpiece materials are steel and hard material, corresponding to material codes P and H.

Installation Notes

This tool is installed by qualified machinists or CNC tooling technicians. Secure the shank fully in a precision collet or end mill holder, verifying runout before cutting. Confirm spindle direction is set to right-hand rotation before starting the program. Follow shop safety protocols and machine manufacturer guidelines when setting tool offsets and approach parameters.
