WCGT020102-X15 WAK15 — Drilling/Boring Indexable Insert, Trigon 80°, uncoated carbide (Walter Tools)

The WCGT020102-X15 WAK15 is an indexable insert engineered for drilling and boring in aluminium and non‑ferrous materials, featuring a Trigon 80° form and an X15 chipbreaker for secure chip control

• Uncoated carbide for non‑ferrous metals
• Trigon 80° geometry for stable seating
• 0.2 mm corner radius for sharp edges
• X15 chipbreaker optimised for aluminium

Maximise productivity when machining aluminium and non‑ferrous metals

The combination of an uncoated carbide grade and a geometry optimised for non‑ferrous materials enables consistently high metal removal rates with reduced tendency for material adhesion. The WAK15 grade is designed as a sharp, wear‑resistant substrate specifically for aluminium and similar alloys, and the X15 chipbreaker helps to break and evacuate chips reliably. This reduces cycle time and minimises interruptions due to chip accumulation, which translates into a measurable improvement in throughput for production runs where lightweight metals dominate.

Reliable edge performance and secure toolholding for constant results

A Trigon 80° plate form combined with a 0.2 mm corner radius provides a balance between edge sharpness and mechanical strength. The modest 7° relief angle lowers friction at the cutting zone while maintaining sufficient support in the pocket, helping to protect the cutting edge under typical drilling and boring loads. Together with the Walter N‑Sortensystem metallurgy, this geometry supports reproducible component quality and surface finish without frequent index changes, promoting predictable tool life and stable machining conditions.

Easy specification and straightforward application in production

The insert’s format and dimensions make it compatible with standard Trigon toolholders and facilitate quick index changes during maintenance. As an indexable insert, it permits rapid rotation or replacement when the edge is spent, reducing downtime compared with brazed or solid tooling. Technical clarity in the product concept simplifies procurement and tooling planning: the plate designation, geometry and chipbreaker specification provide a clear basis for tool selection in applications focused on aluminium and other non‑ferrous metals. For application details or material‑specific recommendations, direct consultation ensures optimal cutting data and holder choice.

FAQ

Is this insert suitable for aluminium machining?
Yes. The WCGT020102-X15 WAK15 insert uses the WAK15 uncoated carbide grade and the X15 chipbreaker, which are specified for aluminium and other non‑ferrous metals to reduce built‑up edge and improve chip control.

What geometry does the insert have and why does it matter?
The insert is a Trigon 80° form with a 0.2 mm corner radius and a 7° relief angle; this combination ensures stable seating in the toolholder and a sharp cutting edge that balances surface finish and edge strength during drilling and boring.

Can the insert be used in standard Trigon toolholders?
Yes. The plate form and size correspond to common Trigon pockets; installation in compliant holders allows for quick indexing and secure clamping during operation.

Is the cutting material coated?
No. The WAK15 grade is an uncoated carbide developed for non‑ferrous applications where low adhesion and sharp edges are essential.
