P2841S-3N-E57 WXP40 — Indexable insert for drilling and boring | Walter Tools

The P2841S-3N-E57 WXP40 is an indexable insert designed for drilling and boring applications, offering controlled chip formation and a robust uncoated carbide grade for a variety of machining tasks.

• Uncoated carbide grade WXP40
• Chipbreaker 3N-E57 for consistent chip control
• Open-series Walter substrate for flexibility
• Designation P2841S for drilling and boring

Improved chip control for fewer interruptions

The integrated 3N-E57 chipbreaker has been developed to deliver consistent chip formation, which reduces the risk of clogging and shortens non-productive time between tool changes. In practice, this means fewer manual interventions during long drilling or boring runs and more reliable cycle times. The design supports stable chips across a range of feed rates, helping to maintain surface quality and reduce rework. Emphasis on repeatable chip evacuation contributes directly to process reliability and predictable productivity gains.

Material suitability and edge performance you can plan around

Produced in the WXP40 uncoated carbide grade, this insert provides a predictable balance between toughness and wear resistance for many general machining tasks; however, workpiece suitability should be verified against the product matrix. The open-series substrate offers flexibility for different holder interfaces and process setups. For operators planning tool inventories, the insert’s specification allows straightforward comparison with existing carbide grades, assisting in selecting the most economical option that still meets edge-life expectations and dimensional stability.

Process stability and integration into machining cells

As an indexable insert designed for drilling and boring, the component supports streamlined tool replacement and consistent repeatability across batches. The compact designation and standardised form facilitate stocking and quick changeover, which is particularly useful in mixed-production environments. Adopting inserts with a controlled chipbreaker and known carbide grade helps to harmonise the cutting strategy across similar operations, reducing set-up variability and improving overall machine uptime while maintaining consistent hole quality.
