WCGT030204-X15 WXM15 — Drilling/bore‑reaming indexable insert, Trigon 80°, 7° relief (Walter Tools)

A WCGT030204-X15 WXM15 insert engineered for precision drilling and bore‑reaming applications, optimised for non‑ferrous metals and designed to ensure consistent chip formation.

• Trigon 80° insert form
• 7° relief angle for precise engagement
• Uncoated carbide grade WXM15
• Optimised for non‑ferrous metals

Precise geometry for stable drilling and reaming results

The Trigon 80° form and a 7° relief angle provide a stable seat and consistent cutting engagement, which supports accurate hole-making operations. The modest corner radius 0.4 mm balances edge strength with a sharp cutting profile to reduce burr formation in softer alloys. These geometric choices are particularly beneficial when machining aluminium, copper and brass, where controlled chip flow prevents material build-up and secures repeatable hole quality.

Material grade and chip control that reduce interruptions

Built from an uncoated carbide grade WXM15, the insert is adapted to non‑ferrous workpieces where low adhesion and clean chip evacuation are decisive. The X15 chipbreaker promotes predictable chip formation, assisting tool life and reducing the frequency of operator intervention. For workshops aiming for productive series runs, this combination helps maintain process reliability without resorting to coatings that are unnecessary for these materials.

Application-focused advantages for workshop efficiency

The insert’s dimensions — plate size 03 and thickness 02 — together with the trigon shape, allow compact toolholder designs that suit both drilling and bore‑reaming stages. The compact format supports versatile tool setups and facilitates quick indexable changes, contributing to shorter downtime between operations. For manufacturing environments handling non‑ferrous batches, the insert’s geometry and chip control translate into smoother workflows and predictable finishing.

Compatibility, handling and selection guidance

The insert is part of the Walter N‑grade system, a range developed for non‑ferrous machining. Selection of the grade WXM15 reflects a focus on sharpness and low friction rather than coated wear resistance, which is appropriate for aluminium and related alloys. When integrating into existing tool systems, ensure the toolholder matches the Trigon 80° seat and that the X15 chip control aligns with the expected feed and speed settings to achieve optimal results.

FAQ

What materials is this insert intended for?
The WCGT030204-X15 WXM15 insert is specified for N‑group materials, meaning non‑ferrous metals such as aluminium, copper and brass, and is optimised to avoid material adhesion.

Is the grade coated or uncoated?
The WXM15 grade is an uncoated carbide developed for sharp cutting edges and low adhesion when machining non‑ferrous workpieces.

Which insert geometry ensures correct seating in toolholders?
The Trigon 80° form with a 7° relief angle ensures secure seating and precise engagement in compatible drilling and bore‑reaming toolholders.

Does the chipbreaker influence surface finish?
The X15 chipbreaker promotes controlled chip formation, which supports consistent surface quality and reduces the risk of built‑up edge during non‑ferrous machining.

Can this insert be used for both drilling and reaming operations?
Yes, the insert is designed as a drilling/bore‑reaming indexable insert and suits combined operations when mounted in appropriate holders and used with matching feeds and speeds.
