WOMX06T304-D57 WAK15 — Drilling/bore indexable insert, Trigon 80°, Walter Tools

The WOMX06T304-D57 WAK15 is a Trigon 80° indexable insert optimised for aluminium and other non-ferrous metals, designed for reliable chip control and repeatable tool life in drilling and bore-enlarging operations.

• Uncoated carbide grade WAK15
• Trigon 80° insert form
• 0.4 mm corner radius
• Chipbreaker D57 optimised for aluminium

Faster, cleaner aluminium operations with proven geometry

The Trigon 80° insert shape combined with a 0.4 mm corner radius provides a stable cutting edge that reduces vibration and improves bore quality in soft, ductile materials. Thanks to the angular geometry, this design supports secure seating in drills and boring heads and helps maintain dimensional stability during interrupted cuts. The result is consistent hole quality and fewer rework cycles for operations focused on aluminium and similar materials.

Durable uncoated carbide for low adhesion and sharp cutting

The WAK15 grade is an uncoated carbide specifically matched to non-ferrous machining; its sharp edge geometry and microstructure reduce material adhesion on the cutting face. That behaviour lowers the tendency for built-up edge and preserves the cutting profile over extended runs, which translates into more productive machining times and reduced insert change frequency. This combination is particularly useful where surface finish and tool life must be balanced.

Controlled chips and repeatable process results

The D57 chipbreaker is tuned to produce short, manageable chips when machining aluminium and other non-ferrous metals, lowering the risk of entanglement and improving coolant access to the cutting zone. Predictable chip formation contributes directly to process security and easier handling at the machine, which supports higher spindle speeds and stable feeds without compromising tool life. The insert’s Walter N‑Grade System background underpins compatibility with established drilling and boring toolholders.

Practical compatibility for workshop integration

With an insert size marked as 06 and thickness T3, installation and indexation are straightforward in standard indexable systems designed for Trigon geometry. The insert’s execution class and tolerance rating (execution: X, tolerance class: M) ensure repeatable positioning and interchangeability across tool assemblies. For operations processing high volumes of aluminium components, this insert offers a pragmatic mix of sharp cutting action and predictable wear behaviour for streamlined workshop workflows.

FAQ

What materials is this insert designed for?
The WOMX06T304-D57 WAK15 insert is designed primarily for aluminium and other non‑ferrous metals, using the WAK15 uncoated carbide grade and the D57 chipbreaker to limit material adhesion.

How does the Trigon 80° form affect machining performance?
The Trigon 80° geometry gives a robust cutting edge and improved seating in drill and bore holders, which helps maintain dimensional stability and reduces vibration during drilling and boring operations.

What does the WAK15 grade mean in practice?
WAK15 denotes an uncoated carbide grade formulated for non‑ferrous machining; it delivers sharp cutting behaviour and reduced built‑up edge when processing aluminium alloys.

Is the chipflow suited to automated production cells?
Yes, the D57 chipbreaker promotes short, controlled chips in aluminium machining, supporting automated cells by reducing chip handling issues and improving coolant access.

Can this insert be indexed for repeated use?
The insert’s Trigon form and tolerance class M permit repeatable indexation in compatible toolholders, allowing multiple cutting edges to be used before replacement.
