Take advantage of the combination of an uncoated carbide grade optimised for non‑ferrous metals, a square 90° geometry with 0° negative relief for robust shoulder milling, and a K88 chipbreaker that reduces material adhesion; order directly via Metav Werkzeuge or consult our technical team for integration advice.

SNHX0904ANN-K88 WXN15 – Milling indexable insert, square 90°, 0° negative relief (Walter Tools)

The SNHX0904ANN-K88 WXN15 is a square 90° milling indexable insert engineered for sharp, uncoated machining of non‑ferrous metals within industrial milling systems.

• Uncoated carbide grade WXN15 for NE‑metals
• Square 90° geometry for precise shoulder milling
• K88 chipbreaker minimises material build‑up
• 0° negative relief for stable cutting edges

Reliable surface quality and reduced built‑up edge for aluminium and brass components

The uncoated WXN15 grade is tailored for machining non‑ferrous metals, delivering a sharp cutting edge and low adhesion characteristics that reduce built‑up edge and improve finish. For components made from aluminium, copper or brass, the insert’s sharp geometry and K88 chipbreaker guide chips away from the cutting zone, which helps maintain a consistent surface quality and reduces rework. The combination of a very sharp edge and a re‑entrant chip control geometry makes this insert particularly effective in high‑feed or interrupted cuts where chip evacuation is critical.

Stable cutting behaviour and accuracy for shoulder and detail milling

A square 90° form together with a 0° (negative) relief offers a robust cutting edge that resists deformation in demanding operations. This geometry is beneficial for shoulder milling and profiling where axial and radial loads are higher; the negative relief increases edge support and enables predictable tool life in repetitive production runs. With tolerance class H and the Walter N‑series design, the insert provides repeatable seat accuracy and reliable indexability, which simplifies toolholder selection and reduces downtime associated with regripping or orientation checks.

Efficient integration in production and clear material assignment

The insert is part of the Walter N‑series and carries the designation for the N material group under ISO classification, meaning it is explicitly intended for NE‑metals. This clear material assignment streamlines tool selection in mixed‑material workcells and supports process planning: the insert’s uncoated nature and K88 chipbreaker make it a cost‑efficient choice for high‑volume runs on softer alloys, while its execution and square geometry contribute to straightforward inventory management. For workshops seeking predictable performance with minimal post‑process finishing, the indexable design supports fast indexing and stable repeatability across batches.

FAQ

Is this insert suitable for aluminium and other non‑ferrous alloys?
Yes. The SNHX0904ANN-K88 WXN15 from Walter Tools is developed for the ISO N group and is suitable for aluminium, copper and brass, offering good chip control and surface finish in these materials.

What advantages does the 0° negative relief provide in production?
The 0° (negative) relief increases edge support under load, improving stability during shoulder milling and reducing the risk of edge chipping when using the SNHX0904ANN-K88 insert in robust machining operations.

How does the K88 chipbreaker affect machining performance?
The K88 chipbreaker is designed to guide chips away from the cutting area, reducing material adhesion on the cutting edge and enabling a more consistent surface finish with fewer interruptions for cleaning or rework.

Can the insert be indexed quickly during a production run?
Yes. As an indexable insert in the Walter N‑series, the SNHX0904ANN-K88 WXN15 allows fast indexing to a fresh cutting edge, supporting short changeover times and steady production flow.

Is the WXN15 grade coated or uncoated and why does that matter?
WXN15 is an uncoated carbide grade; this uncoated configuration provides a very sharp edge and low friction suited to non‑ferrous metals where coating adhesion and thermal behaviour differ from steels.
