ADHT160616R-G88 WXN15 milling indexable insert – 15° clearance, 1.6 mm corner radius | Walter Tools

ADHT160616R-G88 WXN15 is a milling indexable insert designed for sharp, uncoated performance when machining non‑ferrous materials such as aluminium and copper

• Uncoated carbide for non‑ferrous metals
• Sharp cutting edge for minimal adhesion
• Parallelogram 85° geometry for axial milling
• 15° clearance angle for secure chip flow

Reliable cutting for non‑ferrous machining

The insert offers an uncoated carbide composition coupled with a very sharp cutting edge, specifically engineered for machining non‑ferrous metals. This combination reduces the tendency for material to stick to the cutting edge, which in turn improves surface finish and reduces rework. The product’s grade, WXN15, is specified for clean, burr‑reduced cutting in aluminium, copper and similar alloys, delivering predictable tool life in repetitive production tasks. By choosing this geometry, workshops benefit from consistent chip formation and improved process reliability.

Geometry that supports efficient milling

Featuring a parallelogram 85° form and a corner radius of 1.6 mm, the insert provides a balance between edge strength and sharpness. The 85° approach angle is advantageous for axial milling operations where stable cutting forces and controlled chip evacuation are required. The 15° clearance angle further reduces rubbing along the flank, lowering heat build‑up and wear. These geometrical attributes translate into smoother feeds, longer edge life and fewer tool changes, which increases machine availability and reduces cycle times.

Application advantages and practical benefits

Built into the Walter N‑grade system, this insert is intended for productive machining of non‑ferrous materials under a variety of conditions. The G88 chipbreaker geometry promotes predictable chip segmentation, reducing clogging in continuous cuts and enabling higher average feed rates. For manufacturers seeking to optimise throughput without sacrificing surface quality, the combination of grade and chipformer supports more stable cutting and easier downstream handling of chips, contributing to a more economical machining process.

FAQ

What materials is this insert intended for?
The ADHT160616R-G88 WXN15 insert is specified for non‑ferrous metals (ISO group N), such as aluminium, copper and brass, where a very sharp, uncoated cutting edge is required.

Is the insert coated or uncoated?
This item is an uncoated carbide insert in the Walter N‑grade family, optimised for low adhesion when machining soft, non‑ferrous alloys.

How does the G88 chipbreaker affect machining?
The G88 chipformer promotes controlled chip segmentation, which helps prevent clogging and supports higher continuous feed rates in typical axial milling operations.

Which geometry benefits axial milling applications?
The parallelogram 85° form combined with a 15° clearance angle delivers stable cutting forces and improved chip flow, making it suitable for axial milling where good surface quality is required.

Can this insert be used in heavy roughing operations?
The insert’s 1.6 mm corner radius and sharp grade are geared towards finishing to medium cutting conditions in non‑ferrous materials; for heavy roughing in other material groups, alternative geometries or grades should be considered.
