BCHT120416L-K85 WXN15 milling indexable insert, Parallelogram 75°, for non‑ferrous metals — Walter Tools

The BCHT120416L-K85 WXN15 is a parallelogram 75° milling insert designed for sharp, uncoated cutting of aluminium, copper and brass in high‑productivity operations.

• Sharp uncoated carbide grade WXN15
• Parallelogram 75° form for stable cutting
• 7° relief angle reduces rubbing and heat
• 1.6 mm corner radius for precise edge positioning

Efficient machining of non‑ferrous metals with minimal adhesion

The insert combines a very sharp, uncoated carbide geometry and a purpose‑built chipbreaker K85 to keep chips consistent and reduce smearing on soft alloys. For machining non‑ferrous metals such as aluminium, copper and brass the design reduces material build‑up on the edge, which in turn sustains surface finish and tool life. The WXN15 grade is an uncoated cemented carbide optimised for sharp cutting; this means fewer regrinds and more predictable removal rates when paired with suitable feeds and speeds.

Geometry that supports stability and process reliability

The parallelogram 75° form and 7° relief angle promote a stable cutting engagement and controlled contact between insert and workpiece. This geometry helps to lower cutting forces in face and shoulder milling, improving machine loading and repeatability. The modest 1.6 mm corner radius provides a balance between edge strength and the ability to produce sharper contours; in practice this translates into consistent dimensional results and a reduced need for secondary finishing on precision components.

Practical integration and productivity benefits for production

Designed for flexible, shop‑floor use, the insert belongs to the Walter N‑series and supports sharp, uncoated applications where chip control and low adhesion are priorities. The combination of the WXN15 grade and the K85 chipbreaker enables higher metal removal rates in many non‑ferrous applications while maintaining surface quality. For production planners this means shorter cycle times and a reliable tool life profile that simplifies inventory and process planning.

FAQ

What materials is this insert best suited for?
The BCHT120416L-K85 WXN15 insert is intended primarily for non‑ferrous metals such as aluminium, copper and brass; the WXN15 grade and K85 chipbreaker reduce adhesion and maintain surface finish.

Is the grade coated or uncoated?
This insert uses an uncoated cemented carbide grade WXN15, optimised for sharp cutting on soft, non‑ferrous materials.

How does the parallelogram 75° form affect milling performance?
The parallelogram 75° geometry improves cutting stability and repeatability in face and shoulder milling, helping to lower cutting forces and enhance process reliability.

What does the 1.6 mm corner radius mean for component finish?
A 1.6 mm corner radius balances edge strength with the ability to produce defined contours, often reducing the need for secondary finishing operations on precision parts.

Which chipbreaker is fitted and what benefit does it provide?
The insert features the K85 chipbreaker, engineered to deliver consistent chip formation and minimise smearing on soft alloys, improving tool life and surface quality.
