LCGX06T204-F57 WXP40 Drilling/Boring Indexable Insert, uncoated carbide, chipbreaker F57 — Walter Tools

The LCGX06T204-F57 WXP40 is a rectangular indexable insert designed for drilling and boring applications, offering controlled chip formation and reliable cutting performance in general machining tasks.

• Uncoated carbide WXP40 grade
• Chipbreaker F57 for consistent chip control
• 7° relief angle for secure seating
• Rectangular 06 form, 0.4 mm corner radius

Consistent chip control reduces downtime and scrap

The inclusion of the F57 chipbreaker ensures predictable chip formation, which directly reduces tool clogging and machine stoppages. With controlled chips, coolant flow and evacuation become more efficient, improving surface finish and lowering the risk of rework. For operations where stable chip behaviour is essential—such as long holes or interrupted cuts—this insert delivers measurable process stability and fewer operator interventions.

Economical substrate for high-volume throughput

Manufactured in the WXP40 uncoated carbide grade, the insert provides a balance between edge stability and cost-effectiveness. The uncoated substrate is ideal where a robust cutting edge and economical consumption are priorities. For batch production and shops with mixed workpiece materials, the grade offers broad applicability; however, it is recommended to check the product matrix for exact material suitability before series use to ensure optimised tool life.

Geometry and tolerance for repeatable accuracy

The rectangular 06 form, 0.4 mm corner radius and 7° relief angle combine to give reliable seating and repeatable cutting positions in standard toolholders. The defined geometry supports dimensional consistency across multiple indexings, which is particularly beneficial in production environments that demand tight tolerances. The tolerance class G further underlines the component’s suitability for precision applications where stable clamping and minimal runout are required.

Integration into existing tooling with clear handling advantages

With a plate thickness of T2 and execution type X, the insert integrates readily into common drilling and boring tool systems that accept format 06 inserts. Handling and replacement are straightforward thanks to the standardised form, reducing downtime during changeovers. For customers seeking proven brands, Walter Tools supplies the insert with a focus on process security and consistent tool performance.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for? The LCGX06T204-F57 WXP40 insert is supplied in the WXP40 uncoated carbide grade; material suitability should be verified in the product matrix before series machining to ensure optimal performance.

How does the F57 chipbreaker affect machining? The F57 chipbreaker on the insert promotes consistent chip control, which improves coolant evacuation and surface quality while reducing the likelihood of built-up edge and stoppages during drilling and boring operations.

What is the significance of the 7° relief angle? A 7° relief angle provides secure seating in the toolholder, helping to maintain cutting geometry and repeatable positioning, which supports dimensional accuracy across multiple indexings.
