WCGT030204-X15 WTP35 drilling/reaming indexable insert, Trigon 80° geometry, 7° clearance — Walter Tools

The WCGT030204-X15 WTP35 is a trigon-shaped drilling and reaming indexable insert designed for productive metal removal with stable chip control and repeatable performance.

• Trigon 80° geometry for stable cutting
• 7° clearance angle for reliable engagement
• Coated carbide grade WTP35 for long life
• X15 chipbreaker for controlled chips

Stable cutting and predictable engagement for higher throughput

The trigon 80° geometry combined with a 7° clearance provides a stable cutting contact that reduces vibration and supports consistent hole quality. This geometry distributes cutting forces across the insert, which lowers the risk of premature edge damage and contributes to steady process behaviour. In practical terms, operators benefit from fewer interruptions and improved cycle-time predictability when working with the trigon insert in medium to heavy machining tasks.

Longer service intervals thanks to WTP35 coated carbide

The WTP35 classification denotes a coated carbide grade optimised for broad use; the coating improves wear resistance and helps maintain a sharp cutting edge under industrial loads. This translates into extended tool life and reduced frequency of index changes compared with uncoated options. For production environments where tool changeover time affects throughput, the WTP35 grade supports economical, continuous machining while delivering consistent results.

Controlled chip formation increases process security

The X15 chipbreaker is designed to produce short, manageable chips in a wide range of cutting conditions, enhancing chip control and reducing the risk of entanglement or rework. Better chip behaviour improves coolant access and contributes to safer, cleaner operation at the machine. Stable chips also reduce operator intervention and protect both the insert and workpiece surface, supporting reproducible quality in serial production.

Flexible application scope with clear selection guidance

The insert’s dimensions — trigon shape, 03 size and 02 thickness with an edge radius of 0.4 mm — suit many common drilling and reaming toolholders. Material suitability should be confirmed via the manufacturer’s product matrix to ensure optimal performance for specific alloys or heat-treated steels. Where machining requirements are mixed, the combination of geometry, chipbreaker and WTP35 coating provides a balanced solution for productivity and surface finish.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for? Workpiece suitability should be verified using the product matrix; the WCGT030204-X15 WTP35 insert is a coated carbide grade intended for a broad material spectrum, with exact suitability indicated in Walter Tools’ product documentation.

How does the Trigon 80° geometry affect hole quality? The Trigon 80° geometry of the insert promotes stable cutting forces and reduced vibration, which supports consistent hole roundness and surface finish when the insert is mounted in a compatible drilling or reaming holder.

What advantages does the X15 chipbreaker bring? The X15 chipbreaker is engineered for short, controlled chips, improving chip evacuation and coolant contact; this reduces downtime for chip clearing and helps maintain surface integrity during drilling and reaming operations.

How should the edge radius be selected for finishing tasks? The 0.4 mm edge radius balances edge strength with the potential for finer surface finishes; for demanding finishing passes, consideration of feed, speed and holder rigidity together with the insert’s edge radius will determine the optimal set-up.
