WCGT030202-X5 WTP35 – Trigon 80° indexable insert with X5 chipbreaker (Walter Tools)

The WCGT030202-X5 WTP35 is a trigon 80° insert for drilling and reaming operations, engineered to provide stable cutting behaviour and predictable chip formation in general machining tasks.

• Coated carbide grade WTP35
• Trigon 80° geometry
• X5 chipbreaker for chip control
• 7° relief angle for penetrating cuts

Reliable cutting across a broad range of components

The coated carbide composition of the grade WTP35 provides a balance between wear resistance and toughness, making the tool suited to varying production demands. As a trigon 80° insert, the geometry concentrates cutting forces effectively, improving stability in bore-making processes. This results in fewer vibrations and a lower risk of edge chipping, which translates into more consistent hole quality and reduced rework rates in batch production.

Predictable chips and a consistent surface finish

Thanks to the X5 chipbreaker, chip formation is controlled even under interrupted cuts; chips are directed away from the cutting zone to reduce recutting. The modest corner radius (0.2 mm) helps to maintain a clean transition at the cut edge and supports a steady surface finish without aggressive material removal. Such chip control shortens cycle times by reducing stoppages for chip clearing and contributes directly to process reliability on the shop floor.

Longer tool life and efficient machining economy

The balanced coating and edge geometry aim to extend the usable life of the insert while preserving dimensional accuracy across multiple parts. Fewer insert changes and reduced scrap yield measurable cost benefits over time. Where process stability is a priority, the 7° relief angle helps with initial penetration and lowers cutting forces, which not only preserves the cutting edge but also reduces spindle load in high-volume operations.

Straightforward integration and practical handling

The insert is delivered in a standard indexable form factor compatible with common drilling and reaming toolholders. Assembly and index changes are quick and predictable, enabling fast tool replacement and minimal production interruption. For unfamiliar material conditions, the recommendation is to consult the product matrix for exact material suitability and to match cutting parameters to the chosen grade to ensure optimal performance.
