CPGT050204-X15 WK1 Drilling/Boring Indexable Insert — Rhombus 80°, 11° clearance — Walter Tools

A CPGT050204-X15 WK1 indexable insert designed for drilling and boring operations, offering versatile engagement and general machining suitability in an open Walter grade.

• Rhombus 80° geometry for flexible drilling
• 11° clearance angle for secure cutting
• X15 chipbreaker for stable chip control
• Uncoated carbide WK1 grade for general machining

High repeatability from geometry and chip control

The combination of a Rhombus 80° shape and the X15 chipbreaker ensures consistently controlled metal removal across interrupted and continuous cuts. The insert’s geometry promotes a steady entry angle and reduced vibration, which leads to improved repeatability in a production setting. For processes that require consistent hole quality, the insert’s design contributes to fewer rejects and lower rework rates, supporting a more economical machining cycle.

Secure cutting performance through relief and corner radius

An 11° clearance and a 0.4 mm corner radius balance edge strength with cutting accessibility. The clearance angle reduces rubbing at the flank, while the corner radius increases edge robustness, making this insert suitable where slightly heavier engagement or marginal chip evacuation occurs. These design choices aid tool life by distributing cutting forces, translating technical geometry into a clear benefit: longer tool life and fewer tool changes during batch production.

Material and grade guidance for industrial use

The insert is supplied in the WK1 Walter grade, an uncoated carbide solution intended for a broad range of general machining tasks; material specifics are catalogue-dependent. The open-series designation emphasises that material suitability should be checked against the product matrix before final selection. This advisory helps ensure the chosen insert matches the workpiece material and cutting parameters, thereby optimising process security and surface quality.

Practical advantages in workshop integration

As an indexable insert for drilling and boring applications, the shape code and size identifiers enable straightforward replacement and inventory control. The coded dimensions (plate size and thickness) support compatibility with standard insert holders and regrind cycles where applicable. Combined with Walter Tools’ established manufacturing standards, the component supports reliable performance and predictable tool-change planning, contributing to reduced downtime and smoother production throughput.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for? The CPGT050204-X15 WK1 is supplied in an open WK1 grade (uncoated carbide); material suitability must be verified against the product matrix to match the intended workpiece.

How does the X15 chipbreaker affect machining? The X15 chipbreaker promotes stable chip control, improving evacuation and reducing the risk of chip-induced tool damage during drilling and boring operations with the CPGT050204-X15 WK1 insert.

Which geometry advantages does the Rhombus 80° offer? A Rhombus 80° geometry provides flexible engagement angles for drilling and boring, enabling use in various holder designs and contributing to consistent hole quality.

Is the corner radius important for tool life? Yes — the 0.4 mm corner radius increases edge strength and helps distribute cutting forces, which supports longer edge life and more reliable performance in production.
