CPGT050204-X15 WXM15 drilling/reaming indexable insert — Rhombus 80°, 11° clearance — Walter Tools

CPGT050204-X15 WXM15 is an indexable insert engineered for drilling and reaming operations in non‑ferrous materials, offering a focused geometry for stable cutting and reliable chip control.

• Uncoated carbide for sharp cutting edges
• Optimised for non‑ferrous metals
• Rhombus 80° geometry for flexibility
• 11° clearance reduces rubbing and heat

High productivity for soft metals and light alloys

The insert delivers consistent material removal rates when machining aluminium, copper and Messing thanks to its uncoated carbide grade and a geometry optimised to prevent built‑up edge. The uncoated substrate preserves a very sharp cutting edge, which translates into lower cutting forces and improved cycle times in high‑volume drilling and reaming tasks. For shops targeting efficient throughput, the combination of edge integrity and a chipformer designed for light alloys supports predictable process windows and reduced secondary finishing.

Geometry that balances versatility and surface finish

A Rhombus 80° plate shape provides access to a broad range of bore sizes and angles, while the corner radius 0.4 mm enhances edge strength without compromising the ability to produce a fine surface. The X15 chipbreaker promotes short, controllable chips in non‑ferrous applications, reducing the risk of entanglement and improving thermal behaviour at the cutting zone. These design choices result in improved component quality and fewer interruptions for chip clearing during sustained runs.

Designation, size and workshop compatibility

The ISO designation CPGT050204‑X15 WXM15 identifies the insert dimensions and the WXM15 uncoated grade, intended specifically for the N material group (non‑ferrous metals). Plate size 05 with thickness 02 and a clearance angle of 11° means the insert integrates with standard drilling/reaming toolholders that accept this form factor. The tolerance class G and execution T indicate consistent manufacturing precision suited for repeatable machining cycles. This clarity simplifies tooling decisions in mixed‑workshop environments.

Economic value through application focus

By concentrating on non‑ferrous machining, the insert reduces the need for compromise coatings or overly robust grades that are unnecessary for soft metals, delivering a cost‑effective solution with dependable process stability. The Walter N‑series lineage ensures compatibility across a range of tool holders and supports straightforward inventory management. For manufacturers seeking a balance of performance, life and price‑efficiency in aluminium and copper machining, this insert provides a pragmatic choice.
