BCHT160530R-K85 WXN15 milling indexable insert — K85 chipbreaker, optimised for non‑ferrous metals, Walter Tools

BCHT160530R-K85 WXN15 is a parallelogram 75° milling indexable insert designed for sharp, uncoated machining of non‑ferrous materials and allied finishing tasks.

Uncoated WXN15 carbide grade for NE metals
K85 chipbreaker for consistent chip control
Parallelogram 75° insert form for stable engagement
7° clearance and 3 corner radius for smooth cutting

High‑performance uncoated grade for non‑ferrous machining

The insert is made in the WXN15 uncoated carbide grade, a specification intended for machining non‑ferrous metals such as aluminium, copper and brass. This sharp, uncoated carbide geometry reduces material adhesion and promotes low cutting forces, which in turn improves surface finish and reduces burr formation on delicate components. The K85 chipbreaker assists in producing short, controllable chips when machining softer alloys, lowering the risk of built‑up edge and helping to maintain repeatable results. For production environments where component cleanliness and dimensional consistency matter, this combination supports shorter cycle times and fewer secondary operations.

Robust geometry for stable milling and predictable tool life

The parallelogram 75° insert form offers a secure cutting angle that improves engagement stability in slotting and profile milling operations. With a 7° free angle and a corner radius of 3, the insert balances edge strength and cutting sharpness to deliver reliable performance across a range of operations. The standard size 16 and thickness 05 ensure compatibility with common Walter clamping systems and stable seating in the pocket, reducing chatter and improving dimensional control. These geometric traits translate into practical benefits: higher feed rates, consistent flank wear, and predictable index changes, all of which support efficient shopfloor throughput.

Application notes, system compatibility and practical benefit

Built for the Walter N‑series system and marked as suitable for ISO group N, the insert excels where low cutting forces and clean chips are required. The uncoated nature of the grade is specifically chosen for sharp‑edge performance on non‑ferrous metals, avoiding coating interference that can promote smearing on soft alloys. In practice, this means fewer interruptions for tool cleaning, longer intervals between regrinds or changes, and superior surface quality on machined parts. For technical clarification on optimal cutting data or to confirm fitments for a specific cutter body, the supplier can provide detailed recommendations and support.

FAQ

What materials is this insert designed for?
The BCHT160530R-K85 WXN15 is designed primarily for non‑ferrous metals in accordance with ISO group N, including aluminium, copper and brass, where sharp edges and clean chips are required.

Is the WXN15 grade coated or uncoated?
WXN15 is an uncoated carbide grade intended for sharp‑edge performance on softer alloys; the absence of a coating helps to avoid material adhesion during machining.

What is the purpose of the K85 chipbreaker?
The K85 chipbreaker controls chip formation to produce short, manageable chips when working with non‑ferrous materials, enhancing process reliability and reducing machine downtime.

Can this insert be used for roughing as well as finishing?
The geometry and grade are optimised for finishing and semi‑finishing of non‑ferrous alloys; where heavier engagement is required, selection of a more robust corner radius or different grade should be considered.
