WCGT040202-X15 WXM15 Wendeplatten - Walter Tools

Combining an uncoated carbide grade for very sharp cutting edges with a Trigon 80° geometry and a dedicated X15 chipbreaker delivers stable engagement and predictable chip control for non‑ferrous machining. Benefit from the fine 0.2 mm corner radius and 7° relief for improved surface finish and repeatable hole quality; order the inserts via Metav Werkzeuge or consult their specialists for application pairing and availability.

WCGT040202-X15 WXM15 Drill/Boring Indexable Insert – Trigon 80°, for non‑ferrous metals, Walter Tools

The WCGT040202-X15 WXM15 is a drill and bore‑enlargement indexable insert engineered for efficient machining of non‑ferrous metals such as aluminium, copper and brass, designed for use in Walter tool systems.

• Trigon 80° geometry for stable engagement
• Uncoated carbide grade WXM15 for sharp edges
• X15 chipbreaker for predictable chip control
• 7° relief and 0.2 mm corner radius for finish

Faster, more consistent holemaking with optimised geometry

The triangular Trigon 80° form and the moderate 7° relief combine to reduce radial run‑out and improve engagement stability when enlarging bores or finishing holes. Paired with the uncoated carbide WXM15 grade, the insert promotes a sharp cutting line that reduces burr formation and lowers cutting forces in non‑ferrous metals. The result is a more consistent cycle time and fewer rework operations, which supports higher net output in batch machining and component production environments. The design also assists in controlled insertion into pre‑drilled holes, improving concentricity and dimensional accuracy.

Predictable chips and improved surface quality through chipbreaker design

The integrated X15 chipbreaker is tailored for low‑adhesion materials and encourages short, controllable chips that evacuate reliably from the cutting zone. This reduces the risk of chip entanglement and tool damage during continuous runs. The modest 0.2 mm corner radius helps to blend the transition between cutting edge and flank, delivering improved surface finish without compromising edge strength. Together these features reduce downtime related to chip jams and rework, contributing to a safer, more productive machining process.

Application suitability and system compatibility for efficient integration

Formulated for non‑ferrous metals, the insert is part of the Walter N‑Sortensystem, where grade selection and geometry are matched to material behaviour—especially for aluminium alloys and copper‑based materials that demand low friction cutting edges. The WCGT040202‑X15 WXM15 fits standard Walter indexable‑insert drill and boring holders sized for this insert designation, enabling straightforward replacement and inventory management. For users seeking process stability and repeatable results in multi‑stage operations, the insert offers a pragmatic combination of sharpness and robustness.

FAQ

What materials is this insert best suited for?
The WCGT040202‑X15 WXM15 is intended primarily for non‑ferrous metals such as aluminium, copper and brass, where the sharp uncoated carbide edge and X15 chipbreaker reduce material adhesion and improve evacuation.

Is the insert coated or uncoated?
This insert uses the WXM15 grade, an uncoated carbide formulation optimised for sharp edges and reduced friction in non‑ferrous machining.

Which holder types accept this insert designation?
The insert conforms to the common indexable insert designation and is compatible with Walter drill and boring holders designed for WCGT‑style triangular inserts; holder compatibility should be verified against toolholder documentation.

How does the chipbreaker affect machining?
The X15 chipbreaker produces predictable, short chips in soft and ductile materials, improving chip flow and reducing the risk of entanglement, which supports continuous production and reduces stoppages.

Will this insert improve surface finish in holemaking?
Yes, the combination of the 0.2 mm corner radius and the Trigon 80° geometry helps to produce a finer surface finish while maintaining edge strength during finishing passes.
