ADMT120408R-D56 WAK15 milling insert — Parallelogram 85°, 15° relief — Walter Tools

The ADMT120408R-D56 WAK15 is a parallelogram milling insert optimised for machining aluminium and non‑ferrous metals, featuring a sharp geometry and dedicated chip control for stable, productive cutting.

• Uncoated carbide grade WAK15 for aluminium
• Parallelogram 85° form for versatile milling
• 15° relief angle for reduced rubbing and heat
• D56 chipbreaker for controlled swarf evacuation

Precise machining of aluminium and non‑ferrous alloys

The WAK15 grade is an uncoated carbide developed for non‑ferrous materials, delivering a sharp cutting edge that reduces material adhesion and build‑up. Together with the D56 chipbreaker, the insert promotes predictable chip formation, which improves process stability and reduces secondary operations for chip disposal. This technical combination benefits shops aiming for consistent surface quality and shorter cycle times when working with aluminium and similar alloys.

Geometry designed for reliable cutting performance

The 85° parallelogram outline and 15° relief angle create a robust cutting geometry that balances edge strength with low friction at the cutting zone. The 0.8 mm corner radius gives a compromise between edge durability and fine finish capability, suited to a range of finishing and semi‑finishing passes. These geometry choices help maintain a repeatable cutting line and reduce vibration, supporting higher productivity on milling heads that accept this insert format.

Productivity and process advantages in daily use

Using an insert from the Walter N‑Sortensystem allows for easy grade selection and predictable behaviour across batches. The combination of the WAK15 grade and the D56 chip control reduces downtime caused by poor chip evacuation and tool change‑overs. For production environments working predominantly with non‑ferrous components, the result is improved throughput and lower scrap rates thanks to stable cutting forces and reduced edge clogging.

Compatibility, handling and application guidance

The insert is identified by the ISO designation ADMT120408R‑D56 WAK15 and is intended for milling cutters that accept ADMT‑style indexable plates. It is supplied in the Walter N‑Sortensystem series and is suitable for light to medium milling operations in aluminium and other non‑ferrous metals. For precise toolholder selection, recommended cutting data and process optimisation, please refer to the cutter manufacturer’s specifications or contact Metav Werkzeuge for tailored recommendations.
