SDHT120408-G88 WXN15 — Milling insert for non‑ferrous metals — Walter Tools

SDHT120408-G88 WXN15 is a square milling insert designed for efficient profiling and face milling of non‑ferrous materials with a 15° free angle

• Uncoated carbide grade WXN15 for non‑ferrous metals
• Sharp edge geometry to reduce material adhesion
• G88 chipbreaker for fine, controllable chips
• 15° free angle and 0.8 mm corner radius

High performance for non‑ferrous machining

The SDHT120408-G88 WXN15 indexable insert combines an uncoated cemented carbide substrate with a sharp cutting edge geometry to minimise built‑up edge when machining aluminium, copper and brass. The result is reduced burr formation and improved workpiece quality, which translates into less downstream finishing and lower rework costs. The WXN15 grade is optimised for NE materials, providing a reliable compromise between edge sharpness and tool life.

Controlled chips and consistent surface finish

A dedicated G88 chipbreaker produces short, manageable chips even at moderate depths of cut; this leads to safer evacuation in multi‑pass operations and a more uniform surface finish. The combination of the 0.8 mm corner radius and the 15° free angle promotes stable engagement with the workpiece, reducing vibration and the risk of edge collapse. Explaining the chipbreaker: it alters the flow of material ahead of the edge so chips curl and break, improving process stability and reducing the chance of workpiece damage.

Series compatibility and process reliability

Belonging to the Walter N‑series, the insert follows common geometrical conventions for square 90° formats and tolerance class H, simplifying tool holder selection and replacement. The compact dimensions and the standard thickness code facilitate stocking and machine changeover, supporting predictable cycle times.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
This insert is specified for non‑ferrous metals; the SDHT120408‑G88 WXN15 is designed primarily for aluminium, copper and brass.

Is the insert coated or uncoated?
The WXN15 grade used in this insert is uncoated cemented carbide, chosen to preserve a sharp edge and minimise material adhesion on NE alloys.

How does the G88 chipbreaker affect machining?
The G88 chipbreaker generates fine, controllable chips that improve evacuation and surface finish, which is especially beneficial when machining softer, ductile materials.

Will the insert fit standard square 90° tool holders?
The square 90° form factor and the Walter N‑series dimensions allow this insert to be mounted in compatible standard holders, streamlining replacement and tool management.
