YG-1’s 4G milling cutters now available from Cutwel

The 4G range of milling cutters from YG-1 is now available to Cutwel’s UK and Ireland customers. Pitched at the toolmaking and automotive sectors, the 4G series of carbide end-mills is designed to cut materials, including medium and low hardened steels, cast iron alloy, carbon steel and pre-hardened steels up to 55 HRc.

Made with an ultra-fine carbide substrate and coated with a YG-1 tailored coating, 4G mills are said to demonstrate enhanced resistance to heat and oxidation.

Available with two, four or six flutes (with and without corner radius, or ballnose), 4G mill diameter sizes range from 0.1 to 25 mm. The cutters also come in short and long lengths, and with long reach, regular and long shanks, as well as extended neck variants for rib processing. In addition, the four-flute type has been designed with a multiple helix to reduce vibrations at higher speed.
