WCGT030204-X25 WK1 — Drill/boring indexable insert, Trigon 80°, uncoated carbide (Walter Tools)

The WCGT030204-X25 WK1 is a Trigon 80° indexable insert for drilling and boring applications, designed to offer controlled chip formation and reproducible cutting performance; check the manufacturer’s product matrix for specific material compatibility.

• Trigon 80° insert geometry
• Uncoated carbide grade WK1
• 0.4 mm corner radius
• 7° clearance angle

Controlled chip flow for consistent productivity

The Trigon 80° geometry combined with the chipbreaker X25 is engineered to deliver predictable chip formation during drilling and boring cycles, which reduces interruptions and improves cycle times. The geometry supports reliable evacuation in a range of rigid setups and contributes to repeatable hole quality. For production environments seeking efficiency, the reduced risk of chip jamming translates into fewer stoppages and more consistent throughput.

Robust edge design for repeatable hole accuracy

A 0.4 mm corner radius and a 7° clearance angle provide a balance between edge strength and cutting stability. The modest corner radius helps absorb contact stresses at entry and exit while supporting a defined cutting edge for accurate hole profiles. The Trigon form also helps maintain lateral stability in the toolholder, which benefits concentricity and dimensional control in short to medium depth operations.

Grade and coating: what WK1 means in practice

The insert is supplied in the WK1 uncoated carbide grade, an uncoated hardmetal intended for general-purpose performance; as an uncoated carbide, it is often chosen where toughness and predictable wear behaviour are priorities. Material suitability varies by application—refer to the manufacturer’s product matrix for recommended workpiece types and cutting-parameter ranges. Choosing the correct grade and cutting data ensures tool life and surface integrity are optimised.

Practical benefits for the workshop and production line

Using a standardised Trigon insert such as this reduces inventory complexity while offering straightforward indexability and economical re-use of toolholders. The insert’s design supports fast index changes and reliable seating in standard toolholders, lowering downtime during tool changeovers. For system integrators and workshop managers, the combination of geometry and grade provides a pragmatic route to stabilised processes and predictable maintenance intervals.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
Material suitability should be verified in the manufacturer’s product matrix; the WCGT030204-X25 WK1 is an uncoated carbide grade intended for general-purpose use, but specific workpiece recommendations depend on the application.

Can the Trigon 80° geometry be used in interrupted cuts?
The Trigon 80° form and a 0.4 mm corner radius provide edge robustness that can tolerate moderate interruptions; final suitability must be confirmed against the intended cutting conditions and toolholder rigidity.

How does the chipbreaker X25 affect performance?
The chipbreaker X25 is designed to promote controlled chip formation and evacuation during drilling and boring, reducing the risk of chip-related stoppages and improving process reliability for compatible setups.

Is the WK1 grade coated or uncoated?
WK1 is supplied as an uncoated carbide grade; this typically offers toughness and predictable wear patterns, but users should consult the product matrix for optimal cutting parameters.

Are there alternative insert sizes or thicknesses available in this series?
The series includes multiple insert sizes and thickness codes; for matching holders and alternative geometries, consult Metav Werkzeuge or the manufacturer’s catalogue.
