ADMT080304R-F56 WAK15 Fräswendeschneidplatte – for aluminium and non‑ferrous metals | Walter Tools

The ADMT080304R‑F56 WAK15 is an indexable milling insert designed for high‑performance machining of aluminium and other non‑ferrous materials, offering a sharp geometry and optimised chip control for stable, productive cutting.

• Uncoated carbide grade WAK15
• 15° relief angle for sharp cutting
• Parallelogram 85° form, 0.4 mm corner radius
• Chipbreaker F56 optimised for aluminium

Faster material removal on aluminium and non‑ferrous metals

The combination of the WAK15 uncoated carbide and the chipbreaker F56 enables efficient evacuation of soft chips and reduces built‑up edge when machining aluminium, copper or brass. The insert’s geometry is adapted to the specific demands of non‑ferrous ISO group N, which means that cutting forces are lower and feed rates can be increased without compromising surface quality. This results in shorter cycle times and more parts per shift, supporting higher throughput in production environments.

Reduced adhesion and cleaner surfaces through sharp geometry

A 15° relief angle combined with a fine 0.4 mm corner radius produces a very sharp cutting edge that minimises material adhesion and smear on the cutting edge. For components where surface appearance and dimensional consistency matter, this geometry helps to maintain a clean contact zone and reduces secondary finishing. The insert’s form also helps to limit vibration at the cutting edge, which further supports improved surface finish on profiles and thin‑wall workpieces.

Consistent edge life and reproducible results

The ADMT080304R‑F56 WAK15 is manufactured to a tolerance class M and the parallelogram 85° form ensures repeatable seating in compatible toolholders. These controlled tolerances lead to predictable tool life and simpler tool‑change planning. For operations that require batch‑to‑batch consistency, the reproducible performance of this insert reduces inspection effort and supports continuous, reliable production.

Seamless integration into Walter N‑series tooling systems

Designed for the Walter N‑series, the insert fits holders that are optimised for efficient chip formation and secure clamping. The standardised geometry and clear designation help with quick tool selection and straightforward inventory management. Where toolroom flexibility is needed, the insert’s familiar form factor allows rapid exchange between operations without additional set‑up time, supporting lean processes on the shop floor.

Practical benefits for workshop and production planners

Beyond cutting performance, the insert aids process planning by simplifying grade selection: the WAK15 grade is expressly intended for non‑ferrous work, such as aluminium and similar alloys. Choosing the correct chipbreaker and edge preparation avoids common issues like material build‑up and erratic tool wear, which translates into lower scrap rates and reduced rework. For teams aiming to raise productivity without complex process changes, this insert offers an effective, low‑risk upgrade.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suited for?
The ADMT080304R‑F56 WAK15 is specifically intended for aluminium and other non‑ferrous materials (ISO group N), offering geometry and a chipbreaker tuned to prevent material adhesion.

How does the chipbreaker F56 affect cutting?
The chipbreaker F56 on this indexable insert promotes controlled chip formation when machining soft alloys, reducing the risk of long, stringy chips and improving surface consistency.

Is the insert coated?
No, the WAK15 designation denotes an uncoated cemented carbide grade optimised for sharp edges and low friction on non‑ferrous materials.

What does the 0.4 mm corner radius mean for component finish?
A corner radius of 0.4 mm helps balance edge strength and finish quality; it supports a smoother surface while remaining sharp enough to limit material build‑up.

Can this insert be used in standard Walter N‑series holders?
Yes, the ADMT080304R‑F56 WAK15 is made for the Walter N‑series system and will seat correctly in compatible holders designed for the parallelogram 85° form.
