Description
YG-1 GMF15013 4G Mill 2 Flute 30 Degree Helix Ball Nose End Mill 13/64 x 1/4 x 5/16 x 2-3/8
L. Dewitt's SKU #: GMF15013 | Mfr Part #: GMF15013High-speed mold and die milling leaves little room for vague tooling data. The wrong end mill can create chatter, poor surface finish, missed tolerance, edge wear, and rework in pre-hardened steel jobs. YG-1 4G Mill end mills help maintenance teams, CNC programmers, and industrial buyers select a high-speed carbide tool for pre-hardened steels up to HRc 55, mold and die work, dry or wet cutting, close-tolerance applications, and finish-critical machining.
- Mold and die teams machining pre-hardened steels, detailed cavities, ribs, profiles, and close-tolerance features.
- CNC programmers and machinists matching ball nose, corner radius, square end, rib, necked, long, and multiple-helix geometry to the programmed toolpath.
- Maintenance and tooling managers replacing 4G Mill tools by EDP, coating, flute count, geometry, reach, and exact dimensions.
- Industrial buyers comparing inch and metric 4G variants before checkout with enough practical detail to avoid wrong-tool orders.
GMF15013: YG-1 4G Mill 2 flute ball nose solid carbide end mill with YG-1 Special Tailored Coating. Use this model when the operation calls for profiling, contouring, and surface finishing where a ball nose profile is required and the listed dimensions match the holder, workpiece, reach requirement, and cutting conditions.
Why This Model
Use this 4G Mill model when the job requires a high-speed solid carbide end mill for pre-hardened steels up to HRc 55, mold and die work, dry or wet cutting, close-tolerance applications, or finish-critical machining. The selection decision should be based on cutting edge shape, flute count, helix angle, reach, cutting diameter, shank diameter, length of cut, and overall length before the tool is added to the job.

What This Solves
- Better mold-and-die tooling decisions. Geometry, coating, reach, and edge style are visible so programmers can match the tool to the operation.
- Faster replacement matching. EDP, dimensions, flute count, coating, helix, and tool style are structured for repeat ordering.
- Reduced wrong-tool risk. Selection checks help buyers confirm holder fit, reach, material, machine rigidity, coolant strategy, and cutting setup before checkout.
- More practical finish planning. The description connects the product to dry or wet cutting, close tolerance, surface finish, rib processing, profiling, contouring, and necked-reach work.
Common Applications
- Pre-hardened steels up to HRc 55, mold steels, die steels, alloy steels, tool steels, and compatible high-speed milling applications
- 3D contouring, profiling, surface finishing, mold cavities, die details, and ball-nose finishing work
- Mold and die work, close-tolerance features, dry or wet cutting, surface finishing, profiling, and detail machining
- Maintenance replacement when an existing YG-1 4G Mill EDP or geometry must be matched
