WCGT030202-X15 WXM15 — drill/boring indexable insert by Walter Tools — for non‑ferrous metals

The WCGT030202-X15 WXM15 is an indexable insert engineered for drilling and bore enlargement operations, optimised for machining non‑ferrous materials such as aluminium, copper and brass.

• Trigon 80° geometry for stable cutting
• Uncoated carbide grade for NE metals
• 0.2 mm corner radius for fine surface quality
• 7° clearance for reduced friction

Reliable performance for non‑ferrous production

The WXM15 grade is an uncoated carbide composition specifically intended for ISO group N materials, offering a very sharp cutting edge and low adhesion tendency. Combined with the Trigon 80° geometry and the X15 chipbreaker, the insert supports controlled chip formation and reduced built‑up edge during high‑feed drilling and enlargement operations. This leads to more consistent cycle times and fewer interruptions for manual cleaning, which improves overall process efficiency.

Better surface finish with predictable tool behaviour

A 0.2 mm corner radius and a 7° clearance angle create a balance between edge strength and surface integrity: the small radius refines the machined bore wall while the clearance minimises rubbing and thermal transfer. The result is a reproducible surface quality and lower rework rates. The precision of the insert’s tolerance class G and the stable seating provided by the Walter series ensure repeatable geometry from change to change, helping to maintain tight dimensional control in batch production.

Practical integration and productive handling

The insert is supplied in the Walter N‑Sortensystem and is designated with plate size 03 and thickness 02, enabling straightforward integration into holders designed for this system. The indexable insert format reduces downtime for tool changes and permits fast re‑orientation of cutting edges on multi‑point applications. With the chip control features of X15 and the uncoated edge shape, the component is particularly suitable for machining aluminium alloys and other soft, adhesive non‑ferrous materials where chip evacuation and surface appearance are important.

FAQ

Is this insert suitable for aluminium alloys?
Yes. The WXM15 grade and the X15 chipbreaker are tailored for ISO group N materials, making the insert appropriate for a wide range of aluminium alloys and other non‑ferrous metals.

What advantages does the Trigon 80° form bring to drilling operations?
The Trigon 80° form provides a stable cutting geometry that improves entry behaviour and supports consistent chip formation during drilling and bore enlargement.

How does the 0.2 mm corner radius affect surface finish?
The small 0.2 mm corner radius helps to achieve finer surface quality while maintaining sufficient edge strength for repeatable bores with minimal rework.

Can the insert be used in existing Walter N‑system holders?
Yes. The insert is part of the Walter N‑Sortensystem and fits holders specified for the WCGT030202 series and corresponding plate size.
