WCGT040204-X25 WK1 drill/boring indexable insert, Trigon 80° (Walter Tools)

The WCGT040204-X25 WK1 is an indexable insert developed for drilling and boring tasks where consistent chip control and repeatable cutting performance are required in diverse production environments.

• Trigon 80° geometry for reliable cutting
• Uncoated cemented carbide grade WK1
• X25 chipbreaker for stable chip control
• 7° clearance angle improves tool life
• 0.4 mm corner radius for fine finishing

Higher productivity from a geometry designed for stability

The Trigon 80° form combines a stable cutting edge with an open rake that supports reliable chip evacuation and consistent entry into holes or bores. With the X25 chipbreaker, the insert promotes orderly chip formation even under variable cutting conditions, reducing the risk of chip-related interruptions. The use of an uncoated cemented carbide grade (WK1) means the grade is well suited to general-purpose cutting where a balance of toughness and wear resistance is required; verify the specific substrate matrix in the catalogue for best results. By focusing on controlled chip flow and edge stability, this geometry helps maintain cycle times and reduces secondary operations, supporting a more economical machining process.

Predictable accuracy and extended service intervals for production runs

A 7° clearance angle and a 0.4 mm corner radius support low cutting forces and improved surface finish in typical drilling and boring applications. The insert’s tolerance classification G and its coded dimensions (plate size 04, thickness code 02) ensure repeatable seating and concentricity in compatible toolholders, which is essential for batch production. When configured correctly in a suitable holder, the insert gives consistent hole quality and repeatable tool offsets, simplifying toolpath programming and inspection routines. These attributes translate into fewer tool changes and steadier part quality over longer production cycles.

Practical integration and application advice for workshop use

Selection of the correct grade and geometry is decisive: while WK1 is an uncoated carbide grade intended for broad application, the final choice depends on the workpiece material and cycle demands — consult the product matrix for exact suitability. For workshops integrating these inserts into existing tool systems, the clear size and form codes facilitate quick matching with standard holders and clamping systems.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The WCGT040204-X25 WK1 insert is provided in the WK1 uncoated cemented carbide grade; suitability for specific workpiece materials should be checked against the product matrix in the catalogue.

How does the X25 chipbreaker affect drilling performance?
The X25 chipbreaker promotes controlled chip formation and evacuation, improving machining stability during drilling and boring and reducing downtime caused by poor chip behaviour.

What does the Trigon 80° geometry mean for hole quality?
Trigon 80° geometry provides a stable cutting form and consistent entry into the workpiece, which helps maintain concentricity and surface finish in bore production.

How to interpret the size and thickness codes on the insert?
Codes such as plate size 04 and thickness 02 identify the insert dimensions and seating profile; these codes match standard holder specifications for correct mounting and repeatable positioning.
