WCGT020104-X15 WXM15 — Drill/boring indexable insert, Trigon 80° (Walter Tools)

The WCGT020104-X15 WXM15 is a drill/boring indexable insert engineered for efficient machining of non-ferrous metals in demanding production environments.

• Walter N-series grade WXM15
• Optimised for non-ferrous metals
• Trigon 80° cutting geometry
• 7° clearance and 0.4 mm corner radius

Efficient cutting in non-ferrous materials for higher throughput

The insert is based on the WXM15 uncoated carbide grade from the Walter N-series, developed specifically for machining non-ferrous metals such as aluminium, copper and brass. The combination of a sharp cutting edge and the chosen grade reduces tendency for material adhesion and built-up edge, which leads to more consistent cycle times and fewer interruptions for tool cleaning. For production planners this translates into improved machine utilisation and predictable output.

Geometry designed for stable cutting and consistent surface quality

The Trigon 80° geometry and a 7° clearance angle deliver a favourable balance between cutting stability and access in bore enlargements. The 0.4 mm corner radius contributes to edge strength where occasional interruptions or minor vibration may occur, while the trigon form supports positive chip formation. These geometric choices support repeatable surface finish and reduce the need for secondary finishing on many aluminium and brass components.

Application scope and compatibility with standard drilling/boring operations

Intended for drill and bore enlargement operations, the insert is suited to ISO group N materials and performs well where low friction and sharp cutting edges are required. The chipbreaker X15 assists in producing short, controllable chips in common non-ferrous alloys, simplifying chip evacuation and protecting the workpiece surface. Integration into standard toolholders is straightforward, enabling established machining cycles to be maintained with minimal adjustment.

Consistent supply, traceability and trustworthy brand performance

As part of the Walter N-Sortensystem, the insert offers consistent lot-to-lot performance and straightforward grade identification for process documentation. Walter Tools’ established tool development supports reliable edge life and predictable wear behaviour in serial production. For planners and process engineers seeking dependable inserts for non-ferrous machining, this solution supports stability and reproducibility in daily manufacturing.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suited for?
The WCGT020104-X15 WXM15 insert is intended for machining non-ferrous metals such as aluminium, copper and brass, following ISO group N recommendations.

Is the cutting edge coated?
No, the WXM15 grade in this insert is an uncoated carbide specifically tuned for low-adhesion cutting in non-ferrous applications.

Which geometry ensures predictable chip formation?
The Trigon 80° geometry combined with the X15 chipbreaker promotes short, controllable chips when machining non-ferrous alloys with this insert.

Can this insert be used in existing boring toolholders?
The insert is designed for standard indexable toolholders used in drilling and bore enlargement; toolholder compatibility should be verified by checking seat form and clamping dimensions.

How does the corner radius affect performance?
The 0.4 mm corner radius increases edge strength for occasional interruptions and helps maintain surface quality, particularly when machining softer non-ferrous materials.
