ADKT1204PER-F56 WAK15 milling insert — Parallelogram 85°, 15° relief | Walter Tools

The ADKT1204PER-F56 WAK15 is a milling insert designed for efficient machining of aluminium and other non‑ferrous metals, combining a sharp uncoated carbide grade with a dedicated chipbreaker geometry.

• Uncoated carbide grade WAK15 for aluminium
• Parallelogram 85° form for versatile milling
• 15° relief angle for low cutting forces
• F56 chipbreaker reduces built‑up edge

Maximise aluminium throughput with a purpose‑built carbide grade

The uncoated WAK15 carbide grade is formulated for machining aluminium and non‑ferrous metals, offering a very sharp cutting edge that reduces friction and material adhesion. This results in stable chip formation and consistent removal rates when paired with appropriate feeds and speeds. For shops seeking repeatable productivity, the combination of a dedicated grade and a chipbreaker tailored to non‑ferrous work creates measurable efficiency gains while simplifying tool selection and tool‑life planning.

Geometry that improves surface quality and tool stability

The parallelogram 85° insert form with a 15° relief angle helps to lower cutting forces and reduce radial loading on the tool holder, which contributes to improved surface finish and longer tool‑holder life. The F56 chipbreaker is engineered to prevent built‑up edge typical of aluminium alloys, producing controlled, short chips that evacuate reliably. Together, these geometrical features reduce vibration and promote constant cutting conditions, making the insert suitable for both slotting and shoulder milling in demanding production environments.

Practical integration and benefits for production workflows

Specification details such as the 12 mm nominal size and 04 thickness enable predictable clamping and repeatable results in common milling toolholders. The insert is supplied within the Walter N‑Sortensystem range, allowing straightforward grade selection for different non‑ferrous alloys and easy replacement in existing indexable tool systems. With tolerance class K, users can expect consistent positional accuracy during index changes, which reduces setup time and supports higher first‑pass yields on serial components.

FAQ

What materials is this insert intended for?
The ADKT1204PER‑F56 WAK15 insert is intended primarily for aluminium and other non‑ferrous metals, with the WAK15 grade and F56 chipbreaker optimised to prevent built‑up edge.

How does the F56 chipbreaker affect machining aluminium?
The F56 chipbreaker produces short, controllable chips that reduce adhesion and improve surface finish when machining aluminium with the Walter Tools insert ADKT1204PER‑F56 WAK15.

What advantage does the 15° relief angle provide?
A 15° relief angle reduces radial cutting forces and friction, leading to lower tool‑holder loading and a smoother cutting action in non‑ferrous milling operations.

Is this insert compatible with standard Walter toolholders?
Yes, the insert follows the Walter N‑Sortensystem specifications and fits common indexable milling toolholders designed for the ADKT form and size.
