P4840C-1R-F57 WXP40 – Drilling/boring indexable insert by Walter Tools, 1R‑F57 chipbreaker

P4840C-1R-F57 WXP40 is an indexable insert engineered for drilling and bore‑enlargement tasks in industrial production, offering a balance of tool life and chip control for demanding machining operations.

• Uncoated carbide grade WXP40
• 1R‑F57 chipbreaker for controlled chips
• Designed for drilling and boring operations
• Walter Tools series with stable cutting edge

Precision and material suitability for consistent machining

The insert is produced in the WXP40 grade, an uncoated carbide variant intended for versatile use across a range of workpiece materials; the specific suitability must be verified against the product matrix to match the application precisely. Thanks to the geometry coded in P4840C‑1R‑F57, the component is optimised for bore turning and drilling operations where predictable cutting behaviour is required. The combination of grade and geometry provides a reliable compromise between tool life and cutting performance, reducing unscheduled tool changes and contributing to overall process efficiency.

Controlled chips and productivity gains from the chipbreaker

The 1R‑F57 chipbreaker is designed to break and evacuate chips reliably during drilling and reaming operations, improving surface finish and reducing the risk of tool or workpiece damage from long, entangling swarf. In production terms this leads to fewer interruptions, more stable cycle times and a measurable improvement in throughput. The insert’s geometry promotes stable chip formation, which in turn supports repeatable surface integrity and dimensional control — key factors in machining chains that demand consistent part quality.

Practical integration, handling and purchasing guidance

The insert fits into standard drilling and boring tool systems compatible with the P4840C family designation; compatibility should be confirmed with the holder manufacturer and the product matrix. As the grade is catalogue‑dependent, customers are advised to request application data for the intended workpiece and cutting parameters. For further specification checks or recommendations on toolholders and cutting data, please contact Metav Werkzeuge by e‑mail at info@metav-werkzeuge.com or by phone on +49 2822 7131930. This advisory route ensures the chosen insert provides the anticipated process security and surface quality in the target application.
