WCGT040204-X15 WTP35 — Drilling/Boring indexable insert, Trigon 80°, Walter Tools

A WCGT040204-X15 WTP35 indexable insert designed for drilling and boring operations, offering coated carbide performance with a Trigon 80° form for stable cutting in general machining tasks

• Coated carbide grade WTP35 for robust wear resistance
• Trigon 80° geometry for high cutting stability
• 0.4 mm corner radius for consistent edge strength
• X15 chipbreaker for reliable chip control

Stable chip control for productive machining

The coated carbide WTP35 formulation is optimised for reproducible cutting behaviour and predictable tool life. By combining a proven coating system with a dedicated chipbreaker, the insert promotes stable chip formation, which reduces the risk of irregular chips and helps maintain cycle times. This leads to fewer interruptions in the machining process and supports higher overall productivity in batch production.

Geometry engineered for repeatable accuracy

The Trigon 80° plate form and 7° relief angle deliver a balance between strength and accessibility in drilling and boring operations. The 0.4 mm corner radius assists in forming a robust cutting edge that tolerates intermittent loads while preserving workpiece surface quality. Together, these geometric choices minimise vibration and support repeatable dimensional results on series parts.

Chip management and surface quality benefits

With the X15 chipbreaker, the insert channels chips away from the cutting zone to prevent re-cutting and thermal accumulation. Controlled chip flow contributes directly to improved surface finish and reduces the likelihood of surface damage on delicate components. Where part tolerances are tight, the combined effect of chip control and edge stability helps to keep rework and inspection overhead to a minimum.

Application guidance and material suitability

This insert is supplied in a catalogue-dependent material specification and is classified within the Walter Tools series as a coated cemented carbide product. The precise workpiece compatibility depends on the detailed product matrix; therefore, material suitability should be checked against specific machining conditions. For unknown or mixed-material applications, consultation with Metav Werkzeuge or the Walter Tools technical literature is recommended to ensure optimal cutting parameters.

Operational advantages for shopfloor efficiency

The insert’s design focuses on consistent performance to reduce unplanned stops and tool changes. Predictable wear behaviour and reliable chip evacuation combine to extend effective tool life within specified process windows, supporting higher machine uptime. For manufacturing environments aiming for reproducible cycles and lower scrap rates, the insert’s features contribute to measurable operational improvements.

FAQ

What materials is the insert suitable for?
The WCGT040204-X15 WTP35 insert is a coated cemented carbide grade; specific material suitability must be verified in the product matrix or with Metav Werkzeuge to match machining parameters and workpiece grades.

How does the X15 chipbreaker affect performance?
The X15 chipbreaker on the insert promotes controlled chip formation and evacuation, which helps to protect the cutting edge and improve surface finish during drilling and boring operations.

What does the Trigon 80° form mean for stability?
The Trigon 80° geometry increases cutting edge strength and tool stability under load, making the insert well suited to operations where robust performance and repeatability are required.

Is the corner radius fixed and what does 0.4 mm provide?
The 0.4 mm corner radius is specified to provide a compromise between edge strength and sharpness, supporting reliable edge life while maintaining good surface integrity on machined parts.

Which designation should be referenced when ordering or checking compatibility?
Reference the ISO designation WCGT040204-X15 WTP35 and the SKU WCGT040204-X15-WTP35-WALTER when checking compatibility or ordering.
