RDGT1204M0-G88 WXN15 – Round milling insert, 15° relief, for non‑ferrous metals | Walter Tools

A RDGT1204M0-G88 WXN15 round milling insert engineered for sharp, uncoated cutting of non‑ferrous metals such as aluminium, copper and brass

• Uncoated carbide grade WXN15
• 15° relief angle for sharp cutting
• Round form for versatile milling
• G88 chipbreaker for controlled chips

Precision where non‑ferrous materials matter

The insert is based on the WXN15 grade, an uncoated carbide developed for sharp, non‑adhesive cutting in non‑ferrous metals. That material pairing reduces built‑up edge and improves surface outcome when machining aluminium alloys, copper and brass, because the cutting edge maintains its geometry under light to medium cutting loads. The result is predictable tool behaviour and consistent part quality, which supports tighter process control on production and jobbing machines.

Controlled chip formation and stable machining

Thanks to the G88 chipbreaker and the round form, chips are broken and evacuated reliably even on interrupted cuts. The chipbreaker contours guide swarf away from the cutting zone, reducing recutting and improving temperature distribution at the cutting edge. This leads to steadier cutting forces and contributes to extended tool life as well as consistent dimensional results during milling operations where chip control is critical.

Repeatable geometry for secure clamping and indexability

The insert’s geometry, including the 15° relief angle and the tolerance class G, delivers a reproducible cutting position in suitable milling cutters. The insert size code 12 and thickness code 04 correspond to standard cutter pockets that accept round inserts of this specification, enabling quick index changes and minimising downtime. Stable seating and repeatable corner positions support process reliability on series production.

Practical application and handling recommendations

The sharp, uncoated design is optimised for adhesion‑sensitive materials; however, selection of feed and speed should reflect workpiece temper and machine rigidity. Use coolant or air‑blast as appropriate to help evacuate chips and to keep the cutting edge free of built‑up material when machining softer aluminium alloys.

FAQ

Is this insert suitable for aluminium alloys?

Yes. The RDGT1204M0‑G88 WXN15 insert is designed for non‑ferrous metals and performs well on aluminium alloys thanks to its sharp, uncoated cutting edge.

Does the G88 chipbreaker work on interrupted cuts?

The G88 chipbreaker is engineered to improve chip control and evacuation, helping to maintain stable cutting when encountering interrupted profiles with the RDGT1204M0‑G88 insert.

What does the WXN15 grade mean for performance?

WXN15 is an uncoated carbide grade optimised for adhesion‑sensitive applications; it offers sharp cutting edges and reliable performance on materials like aluminium, copper and brass when used as RDGT1204M0‑G88 WXN15.

Can the insert be indexed quickly in standard cutter bodies?

The round form and defined codes (12 / 04) support straightforward indexing and repeatable seating in compatible toolholders, enabling efficient insert changes during production.
