WOMX05T304-D57 WAK15 drilling/boring indexable insert — Trigon 80°, uncoated carbide, Walter Tools

The WOMX05T304-D57 WAK15 is a drilling and boring indexable insert designed for machining aluminium and other non‑ferrous metals, offering stable seating in trigon toolholders and a finely honed cutting geometry for reduced material adhesion.

• Uncoated carbide grade WAK15 for aluminium
• Trigon 80° form for secure seating
• 0.4 mm corner radius for accurate edges
• Chipbreaker D57 for improved swarf control

High-efficiency performance for non‑ferrous machining

The combination of the WAK15 uncoated carbide and a purpose‑designed chipbreaker ensures efficient material removal when working with aluminium and related alloys. The insert’s geometry reduces built‑up edge and sticking, which translates into fewer interruptions for edge cleaning and steadier cycle times. As an indexable option within the Walter N‑Sortensystem, it supports quick index changes and consistent results across repetitive bore‑making operations, helping to maintain throughput on production lines.

Geometry that supports precision and stability

A Trigon 80° plate form together with a 0.4 mm corner radius provides the rigidity and repeatability required for accurate hole profiles and edge condition. The trigon form ensures positive seating in compatible toolholders, while the small radius balances sharp cutting action with edge strength, offering a compromise between surface finish and tool durability. This geometry is particularly suited to applications where consistent hole quality and minimal post‑process finishing are priorities.

Practical advantages in workshop integration

The insert’s chipbreaker D57 is optimised for non‑ferrous swarf shapes, improving evacuation and reducing recutting of chips. Its T3 plate thickness contributes to stable clamping and reduced vibration in many standard drilling and boring setups. Delivered to industry tolerances (class M), the insert fits established holder systems with minimal set‑up time, aiding predictable tool cycles and efficient changeover routines in manufacturing environments.

Application clarity and material suitability

Classified for group N materials, the design and cutting properties of this indexable plate make it suitable primarily for aluminium and similar non‑ferrous metals such as messing and copper alloys. The uncoated cemented carbide composition supports sharp edges that perform well in low‑to‑moderate cutting temperatures typical of these materials, and helps to avoid excessive adhesion that can degrade surface quality or dimensional stability.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The WOMX05T304-D57 WAK15 insert from Walter Tools is intended for aluminium and other non‑ferrous metals, with cutting geometry and grade optimised for group N materials.

Is the insert coated or uncoated?
This indexable plate is supplied as uncoated cemented carbide in the WAK15 grade, delivering sharp cutting edges suited to low‑adhesion machining of aluminium.

How does the Trigon 80° form affect toolholding?
The Trigon 80° shape provides secure, repeatable seating in compatible toolholders, improving stability during drilling and boring operations and aiding consistent hole quality.

What benefit does the 0.4 mm corner radius provide?
A 0.4 mm radius balances edge sharpness and strength, producing accurate edges and a favourable surface condition while reducing the risk of premature chipping on non‑ferrous workpieces.

Can the insert be used in the Walter N‑Sortensystem?
Yes, the WOMX05T304-D57 WAK15 is part of the Walter N‑Sortensystem and is compatible with holders and assemblies designed for that series.
