LCMX06T204-E57 WXP40 Drilling/Boring Indexable Insert (Rectangular, r0.4) by Walter Tools

LCMX06T204-E57 WXP40 is an indexable insert for drilling and boring tasks, designed for versatile chip control in general metalcutting applications.

• Uncoated carbide grade WXP40
• Rectangular form with 0.4 mm corner radius
• 7° relief angle for controlled cutting
• E57 chipbreaker for consistent chips

Reliable productivity through material and grade

The combination of the WXP40 grade and an uncoated carbide substrate provides a cost-effective solution for standard turning and boring operations where uncoated hardness and toughness are required. The solid, uncoated cutting material is intended to deliver stable chip formation and repeatable tool life under a range of cutting conditions. For manufacturing environments prioritising predictable performance, this insert reduces variability between cycles and supports efficient tool planning. The specification notably benefits processes that value tool economy without the added expense of multilayer coatings.

Geometry engineered for process security and ease of handling

The rectangular form with a corner radius of 0.4 mm and a 7° relief angle is configured to balance edge strength and surface finish. The compact geometry minimises vibration in light-to-medium cutting depths and assists in achieving consistent bore quality. The integrated E57 chipbreaker promotes short, controllable chips that are simpler to evacuate from the cutting zone, which in turn reduces rework and machine downtime. Set-up is straightforward: the defined relief and tolerance class M support repeatable seating in standard toolholders, helping to shorten changeover times and maintain cycle consistency.

Application guidance and suitability

This insert is supplied as part of the Walter Tools series and is classified as an uncoated carbide option; substrate and coating information is catalogue-dependent and should be verified in the product matrix for specific workpiece materials. The insert is principally intended for general-purpose drilling and boring tasks where an economical, robust cutting edge is required. When selecting cutting data, consider the material class of the workpiece and verify that the WXP40 grade matches the process requirements; consult the manufacturer matrix for best practice feed and speed ranges to maximise tool life and surface quality.
