RCGX120700T01020 WIS30 – Indexable Turning Insert, SiAlON Ceramic, Walter Tools

The RCGX120700T01020 WIS30 is a round indexable insert intended for high-speed turning applications where temperature resistance and predictable wear behaviour are required

• SiAlON ceramic grade WIS30 for high cutting speeds
• 7° clearance angle for reduced cutting forces
• Round 12 mm plate form for stable chip control
• Zero corner radius for fine finishing and tight tolerances

Optimised for high-speed machining with SiAlON technology

The insert is manufactured in the WIS30 SiAlON cutting-ceramic, a material class designed for high-speed machining and excellent thermal stability. Ceramic grades such as this maintain cutting-edge integrity at elevated temperatures, which reduces flank wear during continuous high-speed turning. The result is a more consistent surface finish and extended productive tool life compared with conventional grades when applied under the correct cutting parameters. The chemistry and microstructure of SiAlON enable rapid metal removal rates while preserving dimensional reliability in temperature-sensitive operations.

Geometry designed to reduce forces and control chips

A modest 7° clearance angle combined with the round 12 mm plate geometry promotes low cutting forces and predictable chip flow. The insert’s geometry, including the zero corner radius, is optimised for finishing passes and for applications demanding tight tolerances. Reduced radial force translates into lower vibration and improved tool stability, which benefits both workpiece surface quality and machine spindle loads. The thickness code 07 and tolerance class G ensure a repeatable fit and seating in compatible toolholders, supporting process consistency in series production.

Application guidance and integration into machining processes

Selection of the correct cutting data must consider the ISO material group of the workpiece; the WIS30 grade is particularly suited where high-speed, temperature-resistant machining is required, but the exact applicability depends on the product matrix for specific ISO groups. The insert is supplied in a round form that aids chip formation under the right cutting conditions; when combined with suitable toolholder geometry and coolant strategy, the system delivers reliable performance. For integration into existing setups, check seating compatibility with the toolholder series and verify the recommended speed and feed ranges from the cutting data sheet supplied by the manufacturer. Walter Tools supports data sheets and matrices that clarify workpiece-group recommendations and process windows.
