WCGT020102-X15 WXM15 — Drilling/reaming indexable insert, WXM15 grade for non‑ferrous metals — Walter Tools

A WCGT020102-X15 WXM15 insert engineered for efficient drilling and reaming in non‑ferrous materials, offering Trigon 80° support and a controlled chipbreaker geometry.

• Walter WXM15 uncoated carbide for non‑ferrous metals
• Trigon 80° profile for secure clamping
• 7° relief angle for smooth cutting action
• X15 chipbreaker for controlled chip flow

Stable chip control for non‑ferrous machining

The combination of the WXM15 uncoated carbide grade and the X15 chipbreaker provides dependable chip formation when machining aluminium, copper and brass. The uncoated hardmetal composition delivers a very sharp cutting edge and reduced adhesion tendency, which limits built‑up edge and improves surface finish. For shops processing NE‑group materials according to ISO 513, this insert reduces rework and downtime by keeping chips compact and evacuation predictable, thereby supporting consistent cycle times and improved tool life.

Geometry that secures process reliability and repeatability

The Trigon 80° profile and the modest 7° relief combine to offer stable seating in drilling and reaming tool bodies while maintaining the required clearance to avoid rubbing. A 0.2 mm corner radius balances edge strength and cutting aggressiveness: it reduces notch sensitivity yet keeps cutting forces moderate. These geometric choices mean fewer insert changes and more repeatable hole quality across batches, helping production environments that prioritise dimensional conformity and surface integrity.

Practical integration and application benefits

Designed for integration into the Walter N‑Sortensystem, this insert simplifies inventory selection and conversion across compatible toolholders. The uncoated grade is particularly suited to high‑feed or high‑speed tasks with non‑ferrous metals, where low friction and sharp edges are essential. For contract manufacturers and OEM workshops, the net effect is improved throughput and predictable costs per part, supported by the insert’s focused application range and clear ISO alignment.

FAQ

What materials is this insert intended for? The insert is designed primarily for non‑ferrous metals; the WXM15 grade and X15 chipbreaker make the insert suitable for aluminium, copper and brass machining according to ISO N.

How does the Trigon 80° geometry affect hole quality? The Trigon 80° geometry provides secure seating and lateral support in the toolholder, which contributes to improved hole concentricity and repeatable surface results when using the WCGT020102-X15 WXM15 insert.

Is the grade coated or uncoated, and what are the implications? The WXM15 grade is an uncoated carbide, offering very sharp edges that reduce material adhesion on NE‑materials; this supports better surface finish and lower cutting forces in many non‑ferrous applications.

Which chip control behaviour can be expected from the X15 chipbreaker? The X15 chipbreaker is designed to produce short, controllable chips in softer metallic materials, improving evacuation during drilling and reaming and reducing the risk of entanglement or chip packing.
