RDGT1605M0-G88 WXN15 milling indexable insert, G88 chipformer, 15° – Walter Tools

The RDGT1605M0-G88 WXN15 is a round milling insert designed for sharp, uncoated cutting in non‑ferrous metals and for versatile engagement angles in production milling.

• Uncoated carbide grade WXN15
• Optimised G88 chipformer
• 15° clearance for low cutting forces
• Round insert, 16 mm diameter

High‑performance grade for non‑ferrous machining

The insert uses the WXN15 uncoated carbide grade, optimised for machining non‑ferrous metals such as aluminium, copper and brass in accordance with ISO 513 group N classification. The uncoated carbide delivers a very sharp cutting edge that reduces material adhesion and minimises built‑up edge tendencies, which is particularly important when working with sticky alloys. This results in steadier cutting behaviour and more predictable component quality in series production.

Controlled chips and consistent surface finish

The G88 chipformer and the round insert geometry combine to provide reliable chip control and flexible tool engagement. The set 15° clearance angle lowers rubbing and cutting forces at the cutting edge, improving tool stability and surface appearance. The circular plate shape enables multiple effective cutting edges per insert, which contributes to longer in‑machine index intervals and consistent finishing in high‑feed or interrupted cuts.

Productivity gains and predictable tool life

Integration into the Walter N‑series means the insert benefits from a system designed for repeatable results and efficient tool management. The sharp, uncoated geometry offers a cost‑effective option where coating is not required, helping to reduce tooling expense while maintaining productivity. The combination of optimised chipformer and robust grade supports repeatable performance, reducing unplanned stoppages and simplifying inventory of indexable parts.

Suitability and application guidance for workshop use

This insert is explicitly intended for sharp, uncoated applications on aluminium, copper and brass and similar non‑ferrous materials; its code and geometry favour low adhesion and good chip evacuation. For specific cutting parameters or to confirm compatibility with a particular toolholder or spindle speed range, consult the system documentation or contact the technical team for tailored advice.

FAQ

Which materials is this insert suitable for?
The RDGT1605M0-G88 WXN15 is suitable for non‑ferrous metals, specifically aluminium, copper and brass, as indicated by the N material code within the Walter N‑series.

What does the G88 chipformer provide?
The G88 chipformer in the RDGT1605M0-G88 WXN15 promotes controlled chip breakage and evacuation, helping to maintain stable cutting conditions and consistent surface finish.

How does the 15° clearance angle affect cutting?
A 15° clearance angle reduces rubbing at the tool flank and lowers cutting forces for the Walter Tools milling insert, which supports improved edge life and smoother machining of sticky non‑ferrous alloys.

Is the insert coated?
The WXN15 grade used in RDGT1605M0-G88 WXN15 is an uncoated carbide design, chosen for very sharp edges and applications where coatings are not required.
