BCHT120404R-K85 WXN15 Parallelogram 75° milling insert by Walter Tools — K85 chipbreaker, 7° clearance

BCHT120404R-K85 WXN15 is an indexable milling insert designed for sharp, adhesion‑reducing cutting in aluminium, copper and brass applications.

• Uncoated carbide for non‑ferrous metals
• K85 chipbreaker for reliable chip control
• 7° clearance for sharp cutting geometry
• 0.4 mm corner radius for precise edges

Higher throughput for non‑ferrous machining

The uncoated carbide grade WXN15 is tailored to the demands of non‑ferrous alloys. Its sharp cutting edge and low‑adhesion characteristics reduce build‑up and enable consistent metal removal rates when machining aluminium, copper and brass. In series production this translates into shorter cycle times and fewer interruptions caused by material sticking. The parallelogram 75° form delivers stable engagement with the workpiece, while the compact geometry helps to maintain tool stability in smaller milling pockets.

Consistent surface finish and chip management

The integrated K85 chipbreaker controls chip form even at moderate feed rates, reducing the risk of entangling swarf and improving process security. Combined with the 7° clearance and a 0.4 mm corner radius, the insert produces repeatable edge quality and predictable contact conditions. These features support a fine surface finish without resorting to coated grades, which can blunt when machining sticky alloys. For operators, this means fewer re‑set cycles and more first‑pass parts meeting tolerance.

Easy integration and predictable tool life

The insert's standard size and form ensure compatibility with common Walter tool holders and modules within the Walter N‑grade system. The 12 mm inscribed size and stable geometry allow straightforward indexable mounting and quick replacement, keeping downtime to a minimum. Because the grade is uncoated, dress and reconditioning strategies focus on maintaining cutting sharpness rather than managing coatings, which can simplify inventory and costs. If clarification is needed on holder compatibility or optimal cutting data, Metav Werkzeuge can advise on feed and speed settings for the application and material.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suited for?
The BCHT120404R-K85 WXN15 insert is intended for non‑ferrous metals such as aluminium, copper and brass and is formulated to minimise material adhesion.

How does the K85 chipbreaker affect machining?
The K85 chipbreaker promotes predictable chip formation and safer swarf evacuation, which helps maintain surface quality and reduces interruptions in milling operations.

Which features ensure a good surface finish?
The combination of 7° clearance, 0.4 mm corner radius and the sharp uncoated grade contributes to consistent edge condition and improved surface finish when machining NE‑metals.

Is this insert compatible with standard Walter tool holders?
Yes, the insert is designed to integrate with holders matching the parallelogram 75° form within the Walter system; confirm holder code and clamping type for exact fit.

Can this grade be used for high‑speed machining?
WXN15 is optimised for sharp, adhesion‑resistant cutting in non‑ferrous alloys; suitability for specific high‑speed applications should be verified against machine capabilities and cutting parameters.
