BCGX1605PDR-G55 WAK15 — milling indexable insert for aluminium and non‑ferrous metals, G55 chipbreaker, 7° clearance | Walter Tools

The BCGX1605PDR‑G55 WAK15 is a milling indexable insert engineered for productive machining of aluminium and other non‑ferrous metals, offering a parallelogram 75° form and a sharp, uncoated carbide grade for reduced material adhesion.

*Optimised for aluminium and non‑ferrous metals
*G55 chipbreaker for reliable chip control
*Parallelogram 75° form for stable cutting

Stable chip control for uninterrupted production

The insert's G55 chipbreaker is designed to shape chips consistently during aluminium cutting, reducing the chance of chip entanglement and ensuring a predictable cutting process. In practice, this means fewer interruptions for cleaning and lower risk of tool damage, which translates into higher machine utilisation. The WAK15 grade — an uncoated carbide developed for non‑ferrous applications — provides a sharp cutting edge that minimises friction and helps avoid built‑up edge, a common issue when machining soft metals.

Geometry that improves surface finish and tool life

A parallelogram 75° insert form combined with a 7° clearance angle creates a geometry that promotes stable cutting forces and even engagement with the material. This geometry helps to distribute loads across the cutting edge, which supports consistent part quality and a good surface finish on machined aluminium components. The plate profile and the specified tolerance class contribute to repeatable indexing and straightforward tool set‑up, reducing downtime during tool changes.

System compatibility and predictable process results

Belonging to the Walter N‑series, this insert fits established Walter tooling systems and supports streamlined inventory control for shops standardised on that platform. With tolerance class G and the clear SKU reference, reordering is unambiguous and traceable. The overall design focuses on machining efficiency — shorter cycle times through stable chip formation and a carbide grade tailored to non‑ferrous metals — which improves cost‑effectiveness across production runs.
