Solid Carbide End Mill Alu-Power: Several 2- and 3-flute series now start at 1.0 mm in diameter, significantly broadening the range from the previous minimum of 3.0 mm. In addition, a wide variety of new intermediate length-of-cut options have been introduced to address customer demands in aluminum machining.

Solid Carbide Chamfering Tools: The new cutting tool line, Chamfering Tools address all chamfering needs encountered in modern machining applications. This comprehensive line offers an effective solution for deburring, edge breaking, beveling, engraving, V-grooving, and inclined surface machining, delivering productivity and precision all in a single platform.

Solid Carbide End Mill EV Mills: High-performance end mill, EV Mills is designed to provide exceptional versatility and productivity across a variety of materials. Made from ultra-fine grain carbide and coated with YG-1’s proprietary Y-coating, EV Mills offers excellent wear resistance and superior cutting performance.

YG SM3 MILL TPKT: This 3-corner positive 90˚ shoulder milling insert is engineered for smooth cutting with reduced force, featuring a high-helix cutting edge and positive rake angle for optimal chip formation. It now includes TPCT-AL inserts for aluminum machining and comes in 07 insert sizes.

YG SM6 MILL WNEX: This 6-corner negative 90˚ shoulder milling insert is designed for high economic efficiency and high productivity. Its sharp cutting edges reduce cutting forces and vibrations, while the curved cutting edge minimizes mismatch during stepped milling. The wide wiper flat ensures an excellent surface finish, and the chip groove design enhances smooth chip evacuation. It now includes 04 insert sizes and a new aluminum geometry with 6 cutting edges.

YG TM4 MILL LNKU: It is a 4-corner, 90˚ tangential milling insert designed to enhance productivity in various milling applications. It features a high rake angle for reduced cutting forces, a wide wiper for superior surface finish, and an elongated cutting edge for deep cuts.

YG904 Milling Grade: YG904 PVD coated milling grade is YG-1’s first choice for difficult-to-cut materials with high reliability. Its special substrates provide excellent reliability by heat resistance and chipping resistance.

4. TURNING and PARTING & GROOVING

YG3125 Turning Grade: Combining a specially developed substrate with advanced coating technology, YG3125 is positioned as a reliable choice for users who are seeking enhanced productivity in steel turning applications. It is great solution for both continuous and interrupted cuts.

YG2035 Turning Grade: YG2035 CVD coated turning grade is optimized for stainless steel applications with higher alloying elements such as duplex and super duplex steel. It is optimized for lower cutting speeds and interrupted cuts.

YG1020 Turning Grade: YG1020 CVD coated turning grade is optimized for various ductile cast iron applications. It offers stability and wear resistance for both continuous and interrupted cuts. YT100G Cermet Turning Grade: A new cermet PVD coated turning grade, YT100G, delivers excellent surface finish and outstanding wear resistance.

PCBN Insert: YG-1’s brand-new PCBN turning inserts are optimized for hardened steel. Four different uncoated or coated PCBN grades cover a wide range of applications, from continuous to light and medium interrupted cuts in machining hardened materials.

GL & GM & RG Turn-Groove Insert Chip Breakers: These double-ended inserts are designed for multitasking machining applications involving external and internal grooving, face grooving, turning, and parting off. The GL chip breaker is well-suited for turn groove and grooving, offering low cutting force and excellent chip evacuation. The GM chip breaker is suitable for turning, grooving, and face turn groove, providing stable edge strength and a comprehensive cutting range. The RG chip breaker, a full radius insert, offers versatility in profile machining applications. Now insert sizes are available in widths of 5mm to 8mm.

Some products are scheduled to be launched after EMO, and their official release will be announced through product news on YG-1’s official website or internal notices.
