CPGT050204-X5 WXM15 – Indexable drilling/boring insert for non‑ferrous metals, Walter Tools

CPGT050204-X5 WXM15 is an indexable drilling and boring insert developed for efficient machining of non‑ferrous metals such as aluminium, copper and brass.

• Rhombic 80° form for versatile drilling
• 11° clearance angle for low cutting forces
• 0.4 mm corner radius for robust edge life
• Uncoated carbide grade WXM15 for NE‑metals

Reliable performance for non‑ferrous materials

The insert combines a Rhombic 80° geometry with a dedicated chipbreaker to deliver stable cutting in non‑ferrous applications. The uncoated WXM15 carbide grade is tuned for aluminium, copper and brass, offering a balance between sharpness and edge life. The specified 11° clearance angle reduces rubbing and lowers cutting forces, which supports higher feed rates and more consistent hole quality. For shops seeking predictable results in aluminium alloys and similar materials, this design improves cycle stability and reduces the need for secondary finishing.

Extended edge life through optimised edge design

A 0.4 mm corner radius and the robust insert form increase resistance to chipping during interrupted cuts and drilling depths. The combination of the corner radius and the X5 chipbreaker promotes controlled chip formation and evacuation, minimising material build‑up on the cutting edge. This results in longer effective tool life and fewer insert changes per shift. The underlying principles are straightforward: smoother chip flow and a stable cutting edge reduce thermal and mechanical stress, translating into fewer unplanned tool interventions and more productive machining time.

System compatibility and practical application advice

Designed for the Walter N‑Series System, the insert integrates into standard Walter drilling and boring toolholders with predictable seating and indexing. Selection is simplified by the clear ISO designation and size coding, enabling quick matching to existing tool bodies. For application planning, consider feeds and speeds optimised for non‑ferrous alloys and ensure adequate coolant or air blast for efficient chip removal. For customers seeking tailored parameters, Metav Werkzeuge provides machining guidance and parameter suggestions based on component material and desired surface finish.
