LCMX050203-B57 WXP40 — Boring/Reaming Indexable Insert (Rectangular), Walter Tools — 7° clearance, 0.3 mm radius

The LCMX050203-B57 WXP40 is a rectangular indexable insert designed for boring and light reaming tasks; its uncoated carbide grade offers straightforward performance where a robust, economical cutting edge is required.

• Rectangular insert with 0.3 mm corner radius
• 7° clearance for stable cutting geometry
• Uncoated carbide grade WXP40
• Chipbreaker B57 for controlled chips

Predictable metal removal for stable production

The insert provides consistent cutting behaviour through its uncoated carbide WXP40 grade and the engineered chipbreaker B57, resulting in reduced vibration and clearer chip segmentation. Because the geometry includes a 0.3 mm corner radius and 7° clearance, the indexable plate supports steady engagement in boring cycles and helps to maintain hole size tolerance. The combination of these features makes the component especially suitable for series production where repeatability and minimal tool management are priorities. The description focuses on process outcomes rather than just item specs, helping planners evaluate production impact.

Broad compatibility and clear application guidance

Designed as a rectangular boring/reaming insert, the plate matches a range of holders and applications commonly found in general metalworking environments. The WXP40 grade is an uncoated hardmetal intended for a wide material spectrum; suitability should be checked against the specific product matrix for optimum results. The insert’s format and chip control features support use in both roughing and light finishing passes, improving machining stability and surface consistency without necessitating complex coolant strategies.

Mounting, inspection and lifecycle considerations

Installation is straightforward due to the standardized form and tolerance class M, enabling quick indexability and replacement during scheduled maintenance. The plate thickness and size coding (05 / 02) align with common clamping systems, while the rectangular form minimises setup errors. Regular inspection of the cutting edge and adherence to recommended cutting data will extend effective service life and reduce unplanned downtime. For optimal results, record machining parameters and edge-wear progression to refine feeds and speeds for repeated jobs.
