YG-1 Solid Carbide End Mills — ALU-POWER, X5070 & V7 Plus
YG-1's solid carbide end mill range covers every CNC milling application from rough hogging to ultra-precision finishing. The ALU-POWER series is engineered specifically for aluminium high-feed milling — polished flutes prevent BUE (built-up edge) and let operators run at extreme RPM and feedrates. The X5070 series cuts hardened steels up to 70 HRC with AlCrN-based coatings that resist the high temperatures of dry, hard-milling applications. The V7 Plus general-purpose family is the workshop staple — balanced geometry and a tough TiAlN coating give long, predictable tool life across mild steel, stainless and cast iron. SAN Tools stocks 2, 3 and 4-flute variants in 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10 and 12 mm shank diameters to DIN 6535 HA / HB.
YG-1 Carbide & HSS Drills — Dream Drill Series & MULTI-1 HSS
YG-1 drills span the full range from production CNC carbide to general-purpose HSS. The Dream Drill family of solid carbide drills delivers exceptional hole quality and tool life on hardened steels, stainless and cast iron — with optional through-coolant variants for deep-hole drilling on high-volume production lines. For fabrication, maintenance and toolroom work, the MULTI-1 HSS jobber drill remains a workshop favourite: split-point geometry self-centres on entry, parabolic flutes evacuate chips on deeper holes, and DIN 338 dimensions ensure interchangeability with any standard drill chuck. SAN Tools carries metric and imperial sizes from 1 mm up to 25 mm.
YG-1 Threading Taps — Spiral Flute, Spiral Point & Forming
YG-1's threading tap line covers every chip-control challenge: spiral flute taps evacuate chips upward and out of blind holes (essential for stainless and ductile materials), spiral point taps push chips downward through through-holes (faster cycle times on production work), and forming taps displace material rather than cutting it — producing zero chips and stronger threads in ductile aluminium and mild steel. Substrates include HSS-E for general workshop use, vanadium-rich HSS-PM for tougher materials, and solid carbide for CNC production. Available in metric, UNC, UNF, BSW, BSF, BSP, NPT and Left-Hand profiles to DIN 371 / DIN 376 / DIN 374 / ISO 529 standards.
YG-1 Coatings & Substrate Engineering
YG-1 manufactures its own micro-grain carbide substrates and applies its proprietary multi-layer coatings in-house — giving full control over edge geometry, sub-micron grain structure and surface finish. The result: longer tool life, better hole quality and predictable wear on every part you run.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about YG-1 cutting tools and ordering from SAN Tools.
Are these genuine YG-1 Korea cutting tools?
Yes. SAN Tools is an authorised distributor of YG-1 cutting tools in the UAE. Every product ships in original YG-1 Korea packaging with manufacturer-stamped part numbers and full warranty against defects in materials and workmanship.
What is YG-1 and where is it made?
YG-1 is a global cutting-tool manufacturer headquartered in South Korea, founded in 1981. It is one of the world's largest dedicated round-tool producers — manufacturing solid carbide end mills, drills, taps, reamers and indexable cutters in its own ISO 9001-certified Korean factories. YG-1 tools are used by leading OEMs and CNC workshops in over 75 countries.
What is the difference between ALU-POWER, X5070 and V7 Plus end mills?
ALU-POWER is engineered for aluminium high-feed milling — polished flutes and large gullets prevent built-up edge. X5070 is a hard-milling series with AlCrN coating, designed for hardened steels up to 70 HRC. V7 Plus is the general-purpose workhorse with TiAlN coating — balanced for mild steel, stainless, cast iron and most workshop applications. Choose by the material you cut most.
What is the Dream Drill series?
Dream Drill is YG-1's flagship solid carbide drill family, engineered for high-precision CNC drilling. It features optimised flute geometry for chip evacuation, hardened-steel-rated coatings, and through-coolant variants for deep-hole drilling. Compared to standard HSS drills, Dream Drills run at 3–5x higher cutting speeds with significantly longer tool life on production work.
What does TiAlN and AlCrN coating mean for tool life?
TiAlN (titanium-aluminium-nitride) is a hard, heat-stable PVD coating that protects the cutting edge in general-purpose machining of steel, stainless and cast iron. AlCrN (aluminium-chromium-nitride) is more thermally stable and resists oxidation at higher temperatures — ideal for hard-milling, dry machining, and high-RPM production where cutting temperatures exceed what TiAlN can handle. Coated tools typically last 2–5x longer than uncoated equivalents.
What is the difference between spiral flute and spiral point taps?
Spiral flute taps evacuate chips upward and out of the hole — ideal for blind holes (where chips have nowhere else to go) and ductile materials like stainless steel. Spiral point taps (also called "gun taps") push chips ahead of the tap, down through the hole — ideal for through-holes and faster CNC cycle times. Choose flute geometry by hole type, not material alone.
Do YG-1 cutting tools come with a warranty?
Yes — all YG-1 cutting tools supplied by SAN Tools come with the full YG-1 Korea manufacturer warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Warranty does not cover normal wear, misapplication, or operator-induced damage (e.g. using a finishing end mill for roughing). Send us photos of any failed tool and we'll work with YG-1 on a case-by-case basis.
Can you supply YG-1 part numbers not listed on this page?
Absolutely. YG-1 manufactures over 25,000 SKUs — this page lists our most popular in-stock and category families, but we can source the full YG-1 catalogue. Send us the YG-1 part number on WhatsApp and we'll come back with availability, lead time and pricing within the same business day.
What is the typical lead time?
The 2 in-stock YG-1 SKUs on this page are usually available for same-day pickup at our Dubai branch and next-day delivery across the UAE. Special-order YG-1 items typically arrive within 2–4 weeks via direct factory order or our regional distribution centre.
Do you offer volume pricing for OEMs and CNC workshops?
Yes. We offer dedicated distributor pricing for OEMs, CNC workshops, fabricators and machine-shop chains. Send us your annual usage estimate or BOM — including the YG-1 part numbers and quantities — and we'll come back with tiered pricing and account terms.
How do I select the right end mill diameter, flute count and shank?
Three quick rules: (1) Diameter — smaller for finishing and tight pockets, larger for roughing and material removal rate. (2) Flute count — 2-flute for aluminium and large chip evacuation, 3-flute for general-purpose, 4-flute for steel and finer finish, 5+ flute for hardened materials and high feed. (3) Shank — specify DIN 6535 HA (plain shank) or HB (Weldon flat) to match your tool holder. Message us with your machine, material and operation and we'll spec it for you.
Can SAN Tools advise on speeds, feeds and coolant selection?
Yes — that's part of what we do. Send us your application details (machine type, material, hardness, depth of cut, coolant) and we'll work back to YG-1's published S&F charts or recommend a starting set of parameters based on the geometry and coating you've selected. WhatsApp is the fastest channel for technical questions.
