Review on YG 1 Uncoated Overall Cutting Diameter by Shalom Germann

Revainrating 3 out of 5

It works, but it's paid for.

I used this to make a full depth profile cut on 6061-T6 aluminum. It screamed like a banshee. Made a 0.002" cut at 130 ipm at around 7500 rpm and the surface quality was terrible. Played with radial engagement and inches per minute but couldn't get it to work cleanly. I had to turn the parts over for an hour to get rid of the markings. The tool did the job, I'll end up buying something in carbide for future work.

Pros
  • Six grooves gives a better finish than fewer grooves
Cons
  • Not bad, but...
