CCGT060204-X15 WAK15 — Drill/bore indexable insert, rhombic 80° / 7° clearance (Walter Tools)

The CCGT060204-X15 WAK15 is a drill/bore indexable insert designed for productive machining of aluminium and other non‑ferrous metals in high-volume and precision applications

• Uncoated carbide grade WAK15 for non‑ferrous metals
• Rhombic 80° form with 7° clearance
• Optimised chipbreaker X15 for consistent chip control
• Corner radius 0.4 mm for stable cutting edge

High efficiency for aluminium holemaking with low risk of material adhesion

The CCGT060204-X15 WAK15 insert is manufactured in an uncoated carbide grade tailored to aluminium and non‑ferrous metals, giving a consistently sharp cutting edge that reduces material build‑up. This leads to fewer interruptions for cleaning and rework while maintaining surface integrity. The combination of a dedicated grade and a purpose‑designed chipbreaker X15 improves chip control, which shortens cycle times in repetitive drilling and boring tasks and contributes directly to process reliability and lower unit costs.

Geometry that stabilises cutting and improves repeatability

The rhombic 80° plate form and the 7° clearance angle create a secure cutting geometry that minimises chatter and lateral forces during penetration and bore finishing. A 0.4 mm corner radius gives a robust edge that balances cutting aggressiveness with longevity, permitting steady tool life across batches. Together with tolerance class G, these features deliver reproducible hole sizes and a consistent surface finish, making the insert suitable where dimensional accuracy and repeatability are essential.

System compatibility and practical benefits for production workflows

Delivered as part of the Walter N‑series, this insert integrates easily into established toolholders and modular drilling systems, simplifying tool management on the shop floor. The uncoated design avoids coating transfer issues common when machining soft, sticky alloys, while the WAK15 composition supports sharpness retention in high‑feed cycles. For production planners, this means reduced variance between shifts and predictable replacement intervals, supporting stable throughput and efficient inventory handling.

FAQ

Is this insert suitable for machining cast aluminium alloys?
The CCGT060204‑X15 WAK15 insert from Walter Tools is specifically formulated for aluminium and related non‑ferrous alloys, offering sharp edges and a chipbreaker that reduces material adhesion in cast alloy machining.

Can the insert be used for finishing operations or only roughing?
The combination of the rhombic 80° form and the 0.4 mm corner radius provides a balance between edge strength and surface quality, making the insert suitable for both semi‑finishing and finishing passes in many non‑ferrous applications.

What are the key advantages of the WAK15 grade compared with coated grades?
WAK15 is an uncoated carbide grade designed to avoid coating transfer and to maintain a very sharp edge on soft, gummy materials; this reduces built‑up edge and supports superior chip evacuation with the X15 geometry.

How does the chipbreaker X15 influence production stability?
The X15 chipbreaker promotes uniform chip formation and evacuation, which reduces load spikes and the need for frequent interruptions, thereby improving process stability and tool life for repetitive drilling and boring cycles.
