CCGT060204-X5 WXM15 — Drilling/reaming indexable insert by Walter Tools, Rhombic 80°, 0.4 mm radius

The CCGT060204-X5 WXM15 is an indexable insert designed for drilling and bore‑enlarging operations, optimised for non‑ferrous materials and integrated into the Walter N‑series system.

• Uncoated carbide for NE‑metals
• Rhombic 80° form for secure engagement
• 0.4 mm corner radius for controlled chip formation
• 7° clearance angle to reduce rubbing

High‑value performance for non‑ferrous machining

This insert, made in the WXM15 uncoated carbide grade, is tailored to the demands of non‑ferrous metals such as aluminium, copper and brass. The choice of an uncoated hardmetal promotes a very sharp cutting edge and low friction at the contact zone, which reduces the tendency for material adhesion and built‑up edge. For production environments requiring repeatable hole quality, the result is fewer secondary operations and more consistent bore diameters — a clear rational benefit for process stability.

Geometry that delivers repeatable chip control

The Rhombic 80° plate form combined with a 0.4 mm corner radius and a 7° clearance angle provides a balance between edge strength and shearing action. The moderate corner radius offers controlled engagement at the entry and exit of the hole, reducing vibration and ensuring smoother surface finishes. The integrated X5 chipbreaker further supports predictable chip formation, which assists chip evacuation and machine uptime — an advantage in both single‑piece flow and batch production.

Technical clarity: what the specifications mean in practice

Uncoated WXM15 denotes a hardmetal grade specifically suited to ISO group N applications; this means the insert is intended for materials that require very sharp geometries rather than heavy coating wear protection. The 7° clearance prevents flank rubbing during plunge and reaming passes, while the Rhombic 80° shape improves positional rigidity in the cutter pocket. Explaining these parameters helps non‑specialists understand why the insert performs well where low adhesion and fine surface quality are priorities.

Cost‑efficiency and application fit

Choosing a purpose‑matched indexable insert from the Walter N‑Series can reduce cycle times through improved chip control and lower the workload on downstream finishing. The combination of a reliable chipbreaker, a slim 0.4 mm corner radius and uncoated carbide makes this insert particularly economical for serial machining of non‑ferrous parts where edge sharpness and minimal built‑up edge are decisive. For workshops seeking predictable tool life and steady results, this option supports both productivity and quality targets.

FAQ

What materials is this insert intended for?
The CCGT060204‑X5 WXM15 insert is intended for non‑ferrous metals (ISO group N), including aluminium, copper and brass.

Is the insert coated or uncoated and why does that matter?
This indexable insert uses an uncoated WXM15 hardmetal grade; the absence of coating allows a very sharp edge, which reduces material adhesion when machining NE‑metals.

How does the corner radius affect bore quality?
A 0.4 mm corner radius provides a compromise between edge strength and shearing action, yielding controlled chip formation and improved surface finish in through‑hole and reaming operations.

Which chipbreaker is fitted and what is its benefit?
The insert features the X5 chipbreaker, which is engineered to support consistent chip separation and evacuation, reducing clogging and machine idle time.

Can this insert be used for finishing passes?
Yes — the geometry and sharp uncoated grade make the insert suitable for fine machining of non‑ferrous parts where minimal built‑up edge and good surface quality are required.

Which series and system does the insert belong to?
The insert is part of the Walter N‑Series, designed specifically for efficient machining of NE‑metals with optimised geometries and chip control.
