WCGT030204-X5 WAK15 indexable insert for drilling/boring (Walter Tools)

The WCGT030204-X5 WAK15 is an indexable insert engineered for high-performance drilling and boring in aluminium and other non‑ferrous metals.

• WAK15 uncoated carbide for non‑ferrous metals
• Trigon 80° geometry for stable cutting
• X5 chipbreaker and 7° clearance angle

Increased productivity for non‑ferrous machining

The WCGT030204-X5 WAK15 grade is designed specifically for machining aluminium and similar materials, delivering reliable metal removal with reduced adhesion. The combination of an uncoated carbide matrix and a sharp cutting edge supports high feed rates while keeping burr formation minimal. For production environments, this means shorter cycle times and fewer interruptions for tool cleaning, contributing directly to a more efficient machining process and consistent part quality.

Geometry that improves surface finish and tool life

The Trigon 80° form with a corner radius of 0.4 mm and a 7° clearance angle provides a stable cutting line and predictable engagement in drilling or boring operations. The X5 chipbreaker promotes controlled chip formation and evacuation, preventing chip packing and reducing the risk of built-up edge. These geometric decisions improve the surface finish and reduce flank wear, translating into longer intervals between indexings and steady performance over many cycles.

Practical use and system compatibility

Belonging to the Walter N‑Sortensystem, this insert is compatible with common Walter toolholders and clamping systems, simplifying tool management on the shop floor. Its designation as suitable for the ISO N group confirms its intended use for non‑ferrous metals such as aluminium, copper and brass, where sharp edges and low friction are advantageous. The insert’s X5 chip control and the uncoated composition make it particularly effective where material adhesion would otherwise degrade cutting action.
