WCGT020102-X5 WK1 Drilling/Boring Indexable Insert — Trigon 80°, 7° clearance | Walter Tools

The WCGT020102-X5 WK1 is an indexable insert for drilling and boring, designed to provide consistent chip control and a hardened cutting edge for general machining tasks.

• Trigon 80° insert geometry
• 7° clearance angle for secure cutting
• 0.2 mm corner radius for edge strength
• Uncoated carbide grade WK1

Reliable cutting performance for drilling and boring

This insert’s Trigon 80° form combines a stable cutting centre with versatile engagement angles, helping to maintain consistent tool paths during plunge cuts and bore enlargements. The configured 7° clearance reduces flank contact and heat generation, which in turn supports edge stability and extends in-cycle consistency. Such geometry is particularly suitable where repeatable hole quality and predictable tool life are required.

Grade and material characteristics explained

The WK1 designation denotes an uncoated carbide grade intended for a broad range of applications; this composition emphasises toughness and reliable wear behaviour under varying cutting conditions. The 0.2 mm corner radius increases resistance to chipping at entry and exit, providing a balance between strength and dimensional accuracy. For economic machining, the uncoated grade can offer uncomplicated regrinding options and consistent performance where coating is not essential.

Integration and practical advantages in production

With a compact plate thickness and standard trigon form, the insert is straightforward to fit into common indexable holders and drill bodies that accept this insert geometry. The X5 chipbreaker and the open series designation support general chip control strategies; however, material-specific machining parameters should be verified against the manufacturer’s product matrix before series production. Using inserts with defined geometry and radius reduces secondary finishing and contributes to steady cycle times.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The WK1 grade is an uncoated carbide designed for general machining tasks; material suitability should be checked against the product matrix before series use, as indicated for the WCGT020102-X5 WK1 drilling/boring insert.

Which insert geometry and angles are specified?
The insert features a Trigon 80° form, a 7° clearance angle and a 0.2 mm corner radius, optimised for stable entry and chip control in drilling and boring operations.

Is the insert coated?
No, the WK1 designation indicates an uncoated carbide cutting material for this insert; the open series is intended for versatile use where coating is not required.

How does the corner radius affect machining?
A 0.2 mm corner radius increases edge strength and reduces chipping risk at bore entry and exit, improving repeatability and decreasing the likelihood of premature tool edge failure.
