WCGT040204-X5 WTP35 — Trigon 80° drilling/boring indexable insert, X5 chipbreaker | Walter Tools

WCGT040204-X5 WTP35 is a compact drilling/boring indexable insert engineered for stable chip formation and versatile machining across a wide range of workpiece materials in industrial drilling and boring operations

• Trigon 80° geometry for secure clamping
• X5 chipbreaker for stable chip control
• 0.4 mm corner radius for edge strength
• 7° clearance angle for reduced rubbing

Predictable chips and extended cutting life for productive machining

The insert is supplied in the WTP35 grade, a coated carbide designed for general industrial use; the combination of the grade and the X5 chipbreaker promotes stable chip formation and consistent cutting performance. In practice, this means fewer interruptions from poor chip evacuation and a more predictable tool life, which supports higher machine uptime and improved process reliability. The documented cutting-grade concept helps form a verifiable basis for tool selection in production environments.

Geometry tailored to accuracy in drilling and boring

The Trigon 80° plate form and a 0.4 mm corner radius increase edge robustness while maintaining cutting precision; the 7° clearance angle reduces flank rubbing and heat build-up during entry, improving surface finish in through-holes and bores. These geometric details translate into measurable benefits: improved hole roundness, reduced burr formation and more repeatable tolerances in serial production. The compact plate size and standard thickness codes suit tight toolholders and allow straightforward integration into common drilling and boring tool systems.

Practical benefits for workshop integration and cost-efficiency

As an indexable insert, the component minimises downtime through fast indexing and replacement, while the tolerance class G and open series designation simplify selection across mounting systems. The plate’s execution code and catalogue-dependent substrate information give process engineers a clear technical basis for validation within existing tool matrices. This approach supports rational decision-making: choosing a replaceable insert that balances process stability and economy of operation reduces overall cycle costs and simplifies inventory management.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The WCGT040204-X5 WTP35 insert is specified with catalogue-dependent substrate information; its WTP35 coated carbide grade is intended for a broad material range—verify the exact workpiece suitability against the product matrix before serial use.

How does the X5 chipbreaker affect drilling performance?
The X5 chipbreaker promotes controlled chip formation during drilling and boring, reducing clogging and enabling longer uninterrupted cutting periods with consistent hole quality.

Can this insert be used in standard drilling holders?
The Trigon 80° format and the published thickness/size codes are compatible with common toolholder systems designed for Trigon-style indexable inserts; confirm holder compatibility with the ISO designation WCGT040204-X5 WTP35.

What does tolerance class G mean for production?
Tolerance class G indicates the manufacturing tolerance and repeatability of the insert geometry, which supports predictable positioning and consistent machining results in series production.
