ADMT120408R-F56 WAK15 – Milling indexable insert by Walter Tools, uncoated carbide for aluminium, chipbreaker F56

A ADMT120408R-F56 WAK15 indexable insert designed for high‑quality milling of aluminium and non‑ferrous metals, combining a sharp cutting edge with a geometry that reduces built‑up edge and supports stable chip formation

• WAK15 grade for aluminium and non‑ferrous metals
• Chipbreaker F56 for controlled chip formation
• Parallelogram 85° form for stable cutting
• 0.8 mm corner radius and 15° relief angle

Consistent high performance for non‑ferrous machining

The WAK15 uncoated carbide composition is tailored for machining aluminium and other non‑ferrous materials, offering a sharp cutting edge and low adhesion properties that minimise built‑up edge. Combined with the chipbreaker F56, this insert promotes predictable chip control and reduces interruptions caused by clogged flutes. The result is improved process stability and higher effective machining time per tool change, which supports leaner production and consistent component quality.

Geometry that reduces rework and improves surface finish

The insert’s parallelogram 85° form together with a 15° relief angle and 0.8 mm corner radius delivers a balance between edge strength and surface integrity. These geometrical features help achieve a finer surface finish on cast and machined aluminium parts and lower the likelihood of burr formation at corners. With tolerance class M, dimensional repeatability is maintained across index changes, aiding predictable tool offsets and reducing time spent on manual corrections.

Practical economy and straightforward integration in production

Supplied in the Walter N‑grade system, this insert fits established milling bodies and simplifies inventory with a clear designation. The nominal 12 mm size and nominal thickness (04) provide a robust platform for moderate cutting parameters while keeping indexable insert replacement quick and safe. The design supports higher feeds typical for non‑ferrous machining, helping to shorten cycle times and lower per‑part tooling costs without sacrificing surface quality.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
This insert is suitable for aluminium and other non‑ferrous metals; the WAK15 grade and chipbreaker F56 are optimised for ISO group N materials.

Is the ADMT120408R‑F56 compatible with standard Walter toolholders?
Yes, the insert is part of the Walter N‑grade system and is intended for use with matching Walter milling bodies and clamping systems.

How does the chipbreaker F56 affect productivity?
The F56 chipbreaker produces predictable chip segments and reduces the risk of built‑up edge, which contributes to longer uninterrupted machining periods and more consistent cycle times.

What tolerances and repeatability can be expected?
The insert is specified to tolerance class M, supporting repeatable indexing and stable offsets for precision milling operations.

Can this insert be used for finishing passes?
With its 0.8 mm corner radius and sharp geometry, the insert can be applied to light finishing when parameters are set appropriately for non‑ferrous materials.
