WCGT040202-X15 WTP35 Trigon 80° indexable insert, 0.2 mm corner radius — Walter Tools

The WCGT040202-X15 WTP35 is a trigon indexable insert engineered for drilling and boring tasks, offering a robust 80° seat, a 0.2 mm corner radius and a chipbreaker optimised for stable chip formation.

• Trigon 80° geometry for secure seating
• Coated carbide grade WTP35 for durability
• 0.2 mm corner radius for reliable edge strength
• 7° relief angle for smooth penetration

Improved edge security and reliable chip control

The trigon 80° geometry and 0.2 mm corner radius work together to provide enhanced edge stability during interrupted cuts and when entering the workpiece. The dedicated chipbreaker X15 channels chips away from the cutting zone, reducing the risk of built-up edge and enabling a predictable cutting action. This combination translates into fewer index changes and steadier cycle times on the machine, while the form of the insert supports secure clamping in standard drill and boring cutters.

Longer tool life through a coated carbide grade

The insert is produced in the WTP35 coated carbide grade, a Walter Tools composition designed to balance wear resistance and edge toughness. The coating reduces flank wear and improves performance under fluctuating temperatures, which is particularly useful for production environments seeking repeatable component quality. Material suitability should be verified against the specific product matrix for each application to ensure optimal selection; the coated carbide classification indicates a versatile, industrial-grade solution rather than a universal guarantee for all substrates.

Practical fitment and machining behaviour for efficient processes

With a modest 7° relief angle, the insert offers smooth penetration and reduced cutting forces in typical drilling and reaming cycles. The item corresponds to insert size code 04 and thickness code 02, facilitating straightforward replacement in systems that accept WCGT-style parts. The trigon form also provides multiple indexable positions, which can lower tooling costs per edge when compared with single-edge alternatives. For integration into a tooling system, verify seat compatibility and cutter clamping dimensions before assembly to maintain process stability.

FAQ

What is the primary advantage of the trigon 80° form?
The trigon 80° form provides a secure seat in the cutter body and offers multiple indexable positions, improving edge utilisation and ensuring steady cutting performance with the WCGT040202-X15 WTP35 insert.

How does the X15 chipbreaker affect machining?
The X15 chipbreaker promotes controlled chip formation and evacuation, reducing heat concentration at the cutting edge and supporting consistent surface finishes when the WCGT040202-X15 WTP35 is used under recommended conditions.

Which physical dimensions are relevant when specifying this insert?
Key dimensions include the 0.2 mm corner radius, 7° free angle, shape Trigon 80°, size code 04 and thickness code 02; these determine seating, edge strength and fitment in compatible tooling.

Is the WTP35 grade suitable for all materials?
WTP35 is a coated carbide grade offering broad industrial utility; however, material suitability must be checked against the concrete product matrix for each application before final selection of the WCGT040202-X15 WTP35.

Can this insert be used in both drilling and boring tools?
Yes, the design is intended for drilling and boring indexable applications where the trigon seat and chipbreaker configuration match the cutter body; verify holder compatibility and seating details prior to fitting.
