LCMX06T204-B57 WXP40 — Drilling/boring indexable insert, uncoated carbide, 0.4 mm corner radius (Walter Tools)

The LCMX06T204-B57 WXP40 is an indexable insert designed for drilling and boring tasks where consistent chip formation and stable cutting edges are required in industrial machining environments.

• Uncoated carbide grade WXP40
• Rectangular insert, size 06
• 7° relief angle for stable cutting
• 0.4 mm corner radius for edge strength

Increased process reliability through defined geometry

The insert combines a 7° relief angle with a 0.4 mm corner radius, creating a geometry that promotes stable cutting forces and predictable engagement with the workpiece. The chipbreaker B57 is engineered to control chip flow during drilling and boring, reducing the risk of built-up edge and helping to keep cycle times consistent. Tolerance class M and the rectangular form ensure repeatable seating in standard tool holders, which supports reproducible machining results and simpler tool management.

Durable uncoated carbide for broad applications

Made from an uncoated carbide grade (WXP40), the insert offers a balance between toughness and wear resistance suitable for many general-purpose applications; the specific workpiece suitability should be verified against the product matrix. The nominal T2 thickness and the size 06 designation support rigidity in the cutting zone, while the 0.4 mm corner radius increases edge strength and reduces edge chipping in interrupted or heavier cuts. These properties help to extend tool life under varying conditions without relying on surface coatings.

Practical integration and handling guidance

The rectangular design and clear ISO-style designation facilitate rapid identification and replacement in established tool systems. For safe and efficient use, ensure correct clamping and seat cleanliness to preserve the tolerance class M fit. Because this insert is uncoated, adjustments to cutting speeds and feeds may be required depending on material and machine dynamics; consult the technical product matrix for recommended parameters.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The LCMX06T204-B57 WXP40 insert from Walter Tools is supplied in an uncoated carbide grade; material suitability should be checked against the product matrix for the exact application and workpiece material.

How does the chipbreaker B57 influence performance?
The B57 chipbreaker on this rectangular insert improves chip control during drilling and boring, helping to avoid entanglement and ensuring more consistent cutting forces with the LCMX06T204-B57 WXP40.

What does tolerance class M mean for tool set-up?
Tolerance class M indicates a medium tolerance that supports reproducible seating and straightforward clamping in compatible tool holders for drilling and boring operations.

Is this insert coated?
No, the WXP40 designation denotes an uncoated carbide grade; the insert relies on carbide properties rather than a surface coating for wear and toughness characteristics.

Which geometric features increase edge security?
The 0.4 mm corner radius and the defined relief angle contribute to a stronger cutting edge and improved resistance against chipping on the LCMX06T204-B57 WXP40.
