WCGT030204-X5 WXM15 – Trigon 80° indexable insert for machining non-ferrous metals, Walter Tools

The WCGT030204-X5 WXM15 is a Trigon 80° indexable insert engineered for efficient, low-adhesion machining of non-ferrous metals in the Walter N-series.

• Trigon 80° geometry for stable cutting
• Uncoated carbide grade WXM15 for NE-metals
• 7° clearance angle reduces friction
• X5 chipbreaker for controlled chip formation

Stable corners and reliable edge for non-ferrous work

The Trigon 80° form and 0.4 mm corner radius provide a balance between robustness and precision, improving edge life during interrupted cuts. As an uncoated carbide grade, WXM15 reduces the tendency for material adhesion when machining non-ferrous metals such as aluminium, copper, and Messing, which in turn lowers rework and tool-change frequency. This geometry supports consistent surface quality while maintaining predictable tool life under typical shop-floor conditions.

Controlled chips and smoother production cycles

The integrated X5 chipbreaker works together with the insert’s geometry to produce short, manageable chips and prevent long stringy swarf that interrupts automated feeding or manual handling. The combination of 7° clearance angle and the chip control geometry reduces friction at the cutting edge, helping to avoid built-up edge formation and delivering a more constant cutting force. The result is fewer stoppages and easier chip evacuation for dependable cycle times.

Optimised for non-ferrous applications and system compatibility

Designed for use with holders that accept the WCGT030204 series, the insert belongs to the Walter N-Sortensystem, offering straightforward replacement and series consistency. The uncoated WXM15 grade is particularly suited to NE-material groups according to ISO 513; the construction minimises adhesion and supports high-quality finishes on softer alloys. The tolerance class G and execution T signal consistent manufacturing precision and interchangeability within compatible tool systems.

Practical benefits for the workshop

With a compact plate size (03) and plate thickness (02), the insert delivers the expected combination of rigidity and accessibility for close-tolerance work. The design focuses on two clear benefits: improved process reliability through stable chip behaviour, and reduced secondary finishing thanks to smoother surface results. For production environments working primarily with aluminium, copper, and Messing, this insert offers a practical route to steady productivity without introducing specialised coatings.
