WCGT020104-X5 WXM15 drilling/bore indexable insert by Walter Tools — X5 chipbreaker, Trigon 80°

The WCGT020104-X5 WXM15 is an indexable drilling and boring insert engineered for high‑productivity machining of non‑ferrous metals in demanding production environments.

• Uncoated carbide for non‑ferrous metals
• X5 chipbreaker for controlled chips
• Trigon 80° form, 0.4 mm corner radius
• 7° clearance angle for sharp engagement

Precision performance where non‑ferrous materials matter

The insert is designed from uncoated carbide (grade WXM15) to deliver consistent cutting behaviour when working with non‑ferrous metals such as aluminium and copper. The material choice and cutting geometry reduce built‑up edge and minimise material adhesion, which translates into fewer interruptions in the machining cycle and more predictable part quality. This makes the component especially suited to series production and applications that demand steady surface finish and dimensional control.

Chip control and geometry that stabilise the process

The combination of the X5 chipbreaker with a Trigon 80° shape and a 0.4 mm corner radius promotes short, controllable chips and reduces the risk of chip entanglement in through‑hole or blind drilling operations. A 7° clearance angle ensures fast entry and reduced cutting forces, which helps maintain tool stability during plunge cuts. These geometric choices support higher feed rates and contribute to improved cycle times without compromising component integrity.

Practical benefits for a reliable shop‑floor workflow

Built to Walter Tools’ N‑Series specifications and supplied in tolerance class G, the insert offers straightforward indexability and repeatable seating in standard pockets. The design prioritises process reliability: consistent chip formation, predictable wear patterns and simple handling for quick insert changes. For operations focused on non‑ferrous machining, this results in less rework and a smoother production flow, backed by a technically clear specification for tool setup.

FAQ

Which materials is this insert intended for?
The WCGT020104-X5 WXM15 is specified for non‑ferrous metals (ISO group N), notably aluminium and copper, where reduced adhesion and sharp cutting edges are required.

What is the purpose of the X5 chipbreaker?
The X5 chipbreaker on the WCGT020104-X5 promotes short, controlled chips to improve evacuation and reduce the likelihood of chip jamming during drilling and boring operations.

How does a 0.4 mm corner radius affect part quality?
A 0.4 mm corner radius balances edge strength and finish: it increases corner robustness compared with a razor edge while still enabling fine surface quality on non‑ferrous materials.

Is the WXM15 grade coated?
No, WXM15 is an uncoated carbide grade formulated for excellent performance on non‑ferrous alloys and reduced material adhesion in these applications.

What does tolerance class G mean for tool setup?
Tolerance class G indicates reproducible manufacturing tolerances that support consistent seating and repeatable positioning in indexable toolholders, simplifying tool change and setup.
