ADMT080304R-D56 WAK15 — Fräswendeschneidplatte (indexable milling insert) by Walter Tools, for aluminium and non‑ferrous metals

ADMT080304R-D56 WAK15 is an indexable milling insert designed for productive machining of aluminium and other non‑ferrous materials, combining a dedicated insert grade with a chipbreaker geometry for consistent performance

Uncoated carbide for aluminium machining
15° relief angle for sharp cutting
Parallelogram 85° geometry for versatile milling
0.4 mm corner radius for fine edge definition

Faster, cleaner aluminium machining with a purpose‑built grade

The WAK15 grade is an uncoated carbide specifically developed for machining aluminium and other non‑ferrous metals (ISO group N). In practice, this means the cutting edge is optimised for low adhesion and minimal built‑up edge, while the chipbreaker D56 promotes controlled chip formation and evacuation. For operations that prioritise cycle time and surface quality in soft, sticky materials, the ADMT080304R‑D56 WAK15 delivers a predictable cutting behaviour that reduces rework and improves first‑pass yield.

Geometry that balances sharpness and edge security

The insert’s Parallelogram 85° shape and 15° relief angle combine to create a sharp, accessible cutting edge with reduced interference on radial engagements. The modest 0.4 mm corner radius supports a fine edge geometry that enhances surface finish without compromising strength for light to moderate depths of cut. These geometry choices give reliable edge contact and stable milling characteristics, particularly in interrupted cuts or trochoidal strategies where consistent edge performance is essential.

Process reliability through material and series design

As part of the Walter N‑Sortensystem, this insert benefits from a production philosophy focused on stable chip formation and broad applicability across non‑ferrous alloys. The uncoated hardness and edge form provide repeatable life and predictable dressing intervals, which supports planning for tool changeovers and inventory rotation. Using this insert helps to reduce unexpected downtime and contributes to a steady production rhythm in aluminium component machining.

Practical fitment and shop‑floor benefits

Available in size 08 with thickness 03, the insert fits standard toolholders designed for parallelogram‑style inserts and suits many common milling set‑ups used for non‑ferrous work. The combination of chipbreaker D56 and the WAK15 grade reduces the tendency for built‑up material on the edge, improving surface integrity and decreasing manual cleaning. For production planners and operators aiming for consistent part finish and efficient toolhandling, these characteristics simplify process control and quality assurance.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suited for?
The ADMT080304R‑D56 WAK15 insert is intended for aluminium and other non‑ferrous metals, following the ISO group N designation for minimal adhesion and optimised chip control.

How does the chipbreaker D56 affect performance?
The chipbreaker D56 on the ADMT080304R‑D56 WAK15 promotes consistent, segmented chips and improves evacuation, which lowers the risk of edge build‑up during aluminium milling.

What benefits does the Parallelogram 85° shape provide?
The parallelogram 85° geometry delivers flexible cutting edge orientation and reliable engagement in a range of milling strategies, aiding stability and surface quality when using the WAK15 grade.

Is the insert coated or uncoated?
This item is uncoated carbide (WAK15), a deliberate choice that reduces material adhesion and yields better performance in soft, sticky non‑ferrous alloys.

What are the key dimensions to check for toolholder compatibility?
Check plate size 08 and thickness 03, plus the parallelogram form and seat, to ensure proper fitment with the corresponding milling toolholder system.
