P4840C-3R-F57 WXP40 — drilling/boring indexable insert, uncoated carbide, 3R-F57 chipbreaker (Walter Tools)

The P4840C-3R-F57 WXP40 is a drilling/boring indexable insert engineered for production environments that demand consistent chip formation and repeatable results in standard cutting applications

• Uncoated carbide grade WXP40 for broad applications
• 3R-F57 chipbreaker for secure chip control
• Designed for drilling and boring operations
• Consistent edge stability for predictable results

Reliable chip control that speeds up cycles

The combination of the 3R-F57 chipbreaker geometry and the WXP40 substrate produces predictable chip formation, which reduces the frequency of manual chip clearing and shortens interruptions in the machining cycle. The chipbreaker is designed to subdivide chips cleanly in drilling and boring operations, promoting continuous evacuation from the hole and lowering the risk of re-cutting. This leads directly to improved productive uptime and more consistent component quality. Where operators are familiar with chipbreaker nomenclature, the 3R-F57 designation signals a conservative geometry optimised for stable cutting rather than aggressive material removal.

Economical cemented carbide substrate for repeatable edge life

Manufactured as an uncoated cemented carbide grade, the insert offers an economical balance between wear resistance and regrindability. Uncoated grades are often preferred where the material matrix of the workpiece varies; the WXP40 grade provides a baseline of stability and general-purpose performance. Because the insert is part of an open series, users are advised to verify the exact workpiece suitability against the product matrix before application. This approach ensures that the cutting edge behaviour aligns with the chosen cutting parameters, enabling predictable tool life and straightforward reconditioning where required.

Simple integration into tooling and production workflows

As a standard drilling/boring indexable insert, the component fits into common insert-style toolholders and can be replaced or indexed quickly to reduce machine downtime. The geometry and substrate selection favour straightforward setting and consistent results across batches, which supports automated processes and manual operations alike. For shops aiming to harmonise tool inventories, the clear designation and manufacturer reference make procurement and quality tracking simpler. If further matching to specific holders or cutting data is needed, Metav Werkzeuge can supply the technical guidance and supply chain support for seamless integration.

FAQ

What materials is this insert intended for?
The P4840C-3R-F57 WXP40 insert is supplied as an uncoated cemented carbide grade; suitability for specific materials should be confirmed using the product matrix for the WXP40 grade and the intended application.

Is the insert suitable for both drilling and boring operations?
Yes, the geometry and designation indicate the insert is intended for drilling and boring applications and is optimised for secure chip control in such operations.

What does the 3R-F57 chipbreaker do?
The 3R-F57 chipbreaker subdivides and controls chip flow to support reliable evacuation during drilling and boring, reducing the risk of chip re-cutting and improving process stability.

Can the insert be reconditioned or re-sharpened?
As an uncoated cemented carbide insert, the P4840C-3R-F57 WXP40 can typically be reconditioned where geometry and shop equipment permit; consult Metav Werkzeuge for recommended reconditioning practices.

How to verify if the WXP40 grade matches the workpiece?
Check the product matrix and technical notes associated with the WXP40 grade; if clarification is required, Metav Werkzeuge can provide guidance based on the intended material and cutting parameters.
