WCGT020102-X5 WXM15 — Drill/bore-widening indexable insert, Trigon 80°, X5 chipbreaker | Walter Tools

The WCGT020102-X5 WXM15 is a Trigon 80° indexable insert designed for drilling and bore‑widening operations in non‑ferrous metals, offering a sharp edge geometry and controlled chip formation for reliable series production.

• Trigon 80° geometry for stable cutting
• Uncoated WXM15 carbide for NE metals
• X5 chipbreaker for controlled chip formation

Higher throughput through controlled chip evacuation

The Trigon 80° geometry combined with the X5 chipbreaker delivers consistently shaped chips and reduced clogging, which supports higher uninterrupted cycle times on drilling units and boring heads. The sharp, uncoated WXM15 grade is optimised for non‑ferrous metals, minimising material adhesion and enabling stable cutting pressures. In practice, this means fewer interruptions for chip clearing and a steadier spindle load, directly improving production rates and repeatability on critical bores.

Reliable edge condition for fine surface integrity

A rounded corner radius 0.2 mm and a clearance angle of 7° preserve edge strength while limiting burr formation on soft alloys. This balance between edge sharpness and robustness ensures good surface quality in one pass and reduces the need for secondary finishing. The combination of geometry and grade is particularly suited to aluminium and messing (brass) where adhesion and smearing can compromise dimensional accuracy; the result is improved first‑pass acceptance and predictable downstream handling.

Straightforward assembly into common toolholders

The insert’s Trigon form and standard designation make integration into established indexable tooling systems uncomplicated; the ISO reference in the designation supports rapid holder selection and inventory management. The compact plate size 02 and thickness 01 allow installation in tight tool envelopes while maintaining clamping stability. As a result, process planners can adapt existing tool bodies with minimal modification, shortening setup times and preserving machine uptime.

Class and application guidance for material groups

Supplied in the Walter N‑Series, the WXM15 grade is an uncoated carbide developed expressly for NE‑group materials under ISO 513. The grade’s low tendency to build a built‑up edge and its geometrical pairing make it a practical choice for high‑feed and conventional cutting strategies when machining aluminium, copper and messing. For shops requiring repeatable bore quality without complex coatings or cutting fluids, this insert offers an economical route to consistent results.

FAQ

What materials is this insert best suited for?
The WCGT020102-X5 WXM15 insert is tailored for non‑ferrous metals (ISO 513 group N) such as aluminium, copper and brass, offering low adhesion and good surface integrity.

Is the grade coated or uncoated, and why does that matter?
This insert uses the uncoated WXM15 carbide grade; the lack of coating reduces edge build‑up when machining soft alloys and facilitates sharper cutting edges for fine finishing.

Which geometry ensures stability in bore‑widening tasks?
The Trigon 80° geometry combined with the X5 chipbreaker promotes stable cutting and predictable chip flow, beneficial for bore‑widening and drilling operations where axial forces must be controlled.

Can existing indexable holders be used with this insert?
Yes; the ISO designation aligns with standard indexable insert interfaces, allowing straightforward integration into compatible holders without special adapters.
