WCGT040204-X15 WXM15 — drill/reaming indexable insert, Trigon 80° geometry, 7° clearance — Walter Tools

WCGT040204-X15 WXM15 is a compact drill and boring indexable insert designed for efficient machining of non‑ferrous metals in industrial production settings

• Trigon 80° insert geometry for stable seating
• Uncoated carbide grade WXM15 for non‑ferrous metals
• 7° clearance angle for reduced rubbing
• Corner radius 0.4 mm for predictable edge strength

Consistent hole form and tool life through precise geometry

The trigon 80° shape combined with a 7° clearance angle produces stable seating in toolholders and reduces the tendency to chatter during drilling and reaming operations. This geometry ensures repeatable hole form and position, which is particularly important in batch production where every sequence must fall within tight tolerances. The modest corner radius 0.4 mm balances edge strength and cutting aggressiveness, helping to maintain a predictable tool life while delivering consistent dimensional results.

Optimised for machining non‑ferrous materials

The insert is specified with the WXM15 grade — an uncoated carbide developed for NE‑materials. It is suited for machining aluminium, Kupfer and Messing where sharp cutting edges and low friction are required to avoid material build‑up on the cutting edge. The included chipbreaker X15 promotes favourable chip control for soft, ductile alloys, reducing the risk of choking and improving surface finish. Operators will notice fewer interruptions for manual cleaning and a smoother production flow.

Practical selection and application guidance for industrial use

As part of the Walter N‑Sortensystem, the insert fits systems where reliable part‑to‑part repeatability is demanded. The compact plate dimensions and the Trigon 80° form allow high packing density in multi‑insert drilling heads and indexable tools, saving spindle space and enabling higher productivity per tool assembly. For best results, match cutting parameters to the material group N (non‑ferrous) and monitor feed to exploit the sharp cutting geometry without overloading the edge.

FAQ

What materials is this insert intended for?
The WCGT040204-X15 WXM15 insert from Walter Tools is intended for non‑ferrous materials classified as N, including aluminium, Kupfer and Messing, where its sharp uncoated carbide grade performs best.

Can the insert be used in small‑diameter multi‑insert drilling heads?
Yes, the Trigon 80° profile and compact plate size 04 of the WCGT040204-X15 make it suitable for space‑constrained drilling heads and indexable tooling assemblies.

How does the WXM15 grade affect surface finish?
The WXM15 uncoated carbide grade combined with chipbreaker X15 promotes clean chip formation in ductile alloys, contributing to improved surface finish and fewer interruptions for edge cleaning when using the WCGT040204-X15 insert.

Is the corner radius suitable for interrupted cuts?
The 0.4 mm corner radius provides a compromise between edge strength and sharpness; the WCGT040204-X15 insert supports predictable performance in operations with mild interruptions typical of drilling and reaming non‑ferrous components.
