LCMX050203-D57 WXP40 drilling/up‑boring indexable insert, 0.3 mm corner radius, 7° relief — Walter Tools

LCMX050203-D57 WXP40 is a rectangular drilling and up‑boring indexable insert designed for productive holemaking and enlargement tasks in industrial turning and milling operations

• Uncoated carbide grade WXP40
• 0.3 mm corner radius
• 7° relief angle
• Rectangular insert, size 05
• Chipbreaker D57 for chip control

Predictable productivity through geometry

The LCMX050203-D57 WXP40 combines a compact rectangular form with a defined corner radius of 0.3 mm and a 7° relief, delivering predictable cutting behaviour in holemaking. The uncoated carbide grade offers stable performance where coating is not required or where coolant and application parameters demand a bare substrate. These geometry choices contribute to extended edge life and consistent bore finish, reducing the need for frequent regrinds and improving process uptime. For production contexts, the coded plate size and thickness simplify insert selection and toolholder compatibility.

Engineered chip control for consistent holes

The integrated chipbreaker D57 is shaped to promote controlled chip formation during drilling and up‑boring, improving evacuation from the hole and lowering the risk of built‑up edge. Controlled chips reduce heat concentration at the cutting zone and support repeatable surface integrity and dimensional accuracy. The rectangular shape also aids stability in the holder, which in turn helps maintain concentricity in successive holes — a direct benefit for shops striving for reproducible quality rather than intermittent good results.

Straightforward mounting and measurable tolerances

The insert is supplied to tolerance class M, with clear identifiers for plate size 05 and thickness 02, enabling rapid selection and clamping in compatible tool systems. A consistent tolerance class reduces setup variation and contributes to first‑pass conformity on jigged and automated machines. The execution code X indicates the specific design variant; referencing these codes in tool lists and CAM setups shortens machine preparation and helps maintain process stability across batches.

Material guidance and practical production advice

The insert is offered in the WXP40 grade as an uncoated cemented carbide; suitability for specific workpiece materials should be verified against the manufacturer's product matrix before series production. In many cases the grade offers broad applicability, but final selection depends on heat generation, feed strategy and whether the task involves plain drilling or enlargement with interrupted cuts. Where process security is critical, pairing the insert’s geometry with optimised feeds and coolant strategy yields the best balance of productivity and tool life.

FAQ

Which materials is this insert typically suitable for?
The LCMX050203-D57 WXP40 insert from Walter Tools is an uncoated cemented carbide grade; material suitability is broad but should be confirmed via the product matrix for specific steels, alloys or non‑ferrous materials.

Is this insert intended for drilling, reaming or hole enlargement?
This indexable insert is designed for drilling and up‑boring/enlargement operations; the rectangular form and chipbreaker D57 favour stable holemaking and controlled chip evacuation.

How does the D57 chipbreaker benefit production processes?
The D57 chipbreaker promotes short, manageable chips and improves evacuation from the hole, which reduces heat concentration and supports a consistent surface finish during series machining.

What do the codes size 05 and thickness 02 indicate?
Size 05 and thickness 02 are the plate dimensional identifiers that determine holder compatibility and clamping depth; the tolerance class M denotes the manufacturing tolerance band for reliable repeatability.
