SDGT09T3AZN-F57 WAK15 – Fräswendeschneidplatte (Square 90°, 15° relief) by Walter Tools

SDGT09T3AZN-F57 WAK15 is an indexable milling insert designed for high-performance machining of non‑ferrous materials, especially aluminium and other N‑group metals

• Uncoated carbide grade WAK15 for non-ferrous
• Square 90° geometry with 15° relief
• Chipbreaker F57 for controlled chips
• Walter N-series: stable edge and productivity

Consistent, fast aluminium machining with reduced built-up edge

The WAK15 grade is an uncoated carbide developed for N‑group materials; its sharp cutting edge and low‑adhesion behaviour reduce built‑up edge and surface smearing during milling of aluminium and similar alloys. Combined with the chipbreaker F57, the insert promotes short, controllable chips that evacuate efficiently, lowering rework and improving cycle times. This results in measurable productivity gains in high‑volume operations while maintaining surface quality and dimensional repeatability for subsequent processes.

Geometry engineered for accuracy and repeatable results

A square 90° seating and 15° relief deliver a robust cutting geometry that supports both axial and radial loading, ensuring stable contact conditions in slotting and face milling. The T3 thickness and tolerance class G provide a predictable mounting and runout behaviour, which benefits setups requiring repeatable positioning and minimal adjustment. The insert’s form supports predictable tool life and reduces the need for frequent compensation, contributing directly to process reliability on the shop floor.

System advantages that simplify production planning

As part of the Walter N‑Sortensystem, this insert integrates into established toolholders and tooling families, enabling straightforward inventory management and quick indexability when a new edge is needed. The uncoated design avoids coating‑related adhesion issues common with soft, gummy alloys and helps maintain a consistent cutting action over the edge life. Using this indexable milling insert helps to keep setup times short and throughput stable — a benefit for both job shops and production lines seeking predictable output.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for? The SDGT09T3AZN-F57 WAK15 insert from Walter Tools is optimised for aluminium and other non‑ferrous (N‑group) materials, providing low adhesion and reliable chip control in these alloys.

Is the insert coated? The insert is uncoated (grade WAK15) and uses a carbide substrate tailored for sharp edges and minimal material build‑up during machining of soft, gummy metals.

How does the F57 chipbreaker affect machining? The chipbreaker F57 promotes short, controlled chips and consistent evacuation, reducing the risk of entanglement and improving surface finish during continuous milling operations.

What benefits does the square 90° geometry offer? The square 90° form provides a stable cutting edge for both radial and axial loads, supporting accurate slotting and face milling while helping to extend usable edge life.

Can this insert be integrated into existing Walter tool systems? Yes. As part of the Walter N‑Sortensystem, the insert is compatible with standard Walter indexable milling toolholders, enabling simple replacement and predictable tool behaviour.
