SDHT1204AZN‑G88 WXN15 – milling indexable insert for non‑ferrous metals, Walter Tools

The SDHT1204AZN‑G88 WXN15 is a square milling indexable insert engineered for sharp, uncoated cutting in non‑ferrous materials such as aluminium and brass, offering a precise combination of edge geometry and chip control for productive machining.

• Sharp uncoated carbide grade WXN15
• G88 chipbreaker for clean chips
• Square 90° insert, 12 mm size
• 15° clearance angle for precision cuts

High‑performance cutting for non‑ferrous materials

The WXN15 grade is an uncoated carbide formulated for machining non‑ferrous metals. Its very sharp cutting edge reduces built‑up edge and minimises material adhesion during high‑quality finishing. In practice, this means fewer interruptions for edge cleaning and a consistently better surface finish when producing components from aluminium, copper or messing (brass). The combination of a sharp grade and the Walter N series geometry supports efficient material removal while maintaining dimensional stability over repeated indexing.

Consistent chip control and improved surface quality

The G88 chipbreaker is designed to break chips reliably on short to medium chip forms typical for non‑ferrous materials. Controlled chip formation lowers the risk of entanglement and protects both the workpiece and the toolholder. As a result, the cutter system produces fewer micro‑defects, contributing to repeatable surface roughness and reduced rework. For shops seeking predictable outcomes, the chip geometry translates into smoother process behaviour and less downtime due to chip management.

Stable geometry for accurate shoulder and face milling

The square 90° form and 15° clearance angle provide a robust edge for shoulder milling and face operations where a decisive corner or flat wall is required. The insert’s 12 mm size and 4 mm thickness ensure sufficient edge strength while allowing indexability for rapid turnaround when an edge is worn. This geometry balances rigidity and accessibility, so finishing passes remain accurate and vibration is minimised, delivering consistent dimensional results even in high‑productivity setups.

Practical integration and recommended applications

This insert is best applied in finishing and sharp‑edge operations on non‑ferrous alloys within the Walter N series system. The uncoated, sharp grade performs well under moderate chip loads and benefits from appropriate coolant or air blast to evacuate chips in deep pockets. For integration into existing toolholders, confirm seat compatibility with the SDHT designation and the G88 chip geometry. For specific cutting data and optimal setup parameters, Metav Werkzeuge can provide tailored recommendations based on the exact machine and material combination.

FAQ

Which materials are best suited to this insert?
The WXN15 grade insert is optimised for non‑ferrous metals such as aluminium, copper and brass; the SDHT1204AZN‑G88 WXN15 excels where sharp, uncoated cutting is required.

Is the insert coated?
No, the insert is uncoated; WXN15 denotes an uncoated carbide grade designed for sharp performance on non‑ferrous materials.

What does the G88 chipbreaker do?
The G88 chipbreaker controls chip formation to produce short, manageable chips, improving evacuation and protecting the workpiece surface during milling.

How does the square 90° geometry affect machining?
The square 90° shape provides strong corner support for shoulder and face milling, enabling precise walls and robust engagement in finishing operations.

What should be considered when integrating the insert into a toolholder?
Confirm seat compatibility with the SDHT designation and check that the toolholder supports the G88 chip geometry; Metav Werkzeuge can advise on matching holders and process parameters.
