WCGT020102-X15 WK1 — Drilling/Reaming Indexable Insert, Trigon 80° | Walter Tools

The WCGT020102-X15 WK1 is a Trigon 80° drilling and reaming indexable insert in uncoated carbide, tailored for stable entry and predictable chip formation in general metalcutting applications

• Trigon 80° geometry for stable entry
• Uncoated carbide WK1 for general machining
• 7° relief angle for controlled cutting
• X15 chipbreaker for reliable chip formation

Consistent hole quality and process reliability

The triangular face and Trigon 80° design combine with a 0.2 mm corner radius to reduce vibration at entry and promote uniform tool contact. The X15 chipbreaker guides chips away from the cutting zone, lowering the risk of build-up and improving surface finish. For production environments this means fewer rejects and a steadier process window; for operators less adjustment is required between passes. Technical terms: the corner radius helps blunt the cutting edge slightly to improve strength, while the chipbreaker deflects and breaks chips to avoid tangling.

Efficient production through predictable tool life

Built in the WK1 grade as an uncoated carbide insert, this specification emphasises balanced wear resistance and toughness for a wide range of common materials. The grade is described as an uncoated cemented carbide; users should verify the exact material suitability against the product matrix before use. Predictable wear behaviour reduces unscheduled tool changes and supports planned maintenance intervals, improving overall throughput and lowering per-hole costs when integrated into automated drilling or reaming cycles.

Easy integration and clear mounting data

The insert is supplied in the Trigon 80° form with size 02 and thickness 01, tolerance class G, and a 7° relief angle, enabling straightforward replacement in compatible drilling and boring heads. The concise geometry and standard sizing help with inventory management and setup times in the toolroom. For new applications, consult the machine tool and holder manufacturer recommendations and use manufacturer cutting data as a starting point for feed and speed; adjustments are often small once the correct coolant strategy and clamping are established.
