WOMX120608-D57 WAK15 drilling/boring indexable insert, Trigon 80°, Walter Tools

A WOMX120608-D57 WAK15 indexable insert engineered for productive aluminium and non-ferrous machining with Trigon 80° geometry.

• Trigon 80° geometry for stable engagement
• WAK15 uncoated carbide for aluminium machining
• Chipbreaker D57 reduces material adhesion
• 0.8 mm corner radius for fine surface quality

Optimised grade and chip control for aluminium work

The core advantage is the WAK15 uncoated carbide grade, developed within the Walter N-grade system for non-ferrous applications; this composition offers a very sharp cutting edge and predictable wear behaviour when machining aluminium and similar materials. Combined with the D57 chipbreaker, the insert minimises built-up edge and chip welding, which translates to fewer interruptions and a more consistent surface finish. For production environments that demand repeatability, this configuration reduces rework and improves cycle-time stability while maintaining effective tool life.

Geometry engineered for secure cutting engagement and surface quality

The Trigon 80° form and 0.8 mm corner radius provide a balanced contact geometry that supports secure tool engagement without excessive cutting forces. This shape reduces vibration at the tool tip and helps deliver a steady cutting line, supporting improved dimensional accuracy on bores and enlarged holes. The specified chip control and corner geometry together help achieve a fine surface texture on delicate non-ferrous components while keeping cutting forces manageable for standard drilling and boring toolholders.

Practical integration into production and selection guidance

As an indexable insert, the component fits common clamping systems designed for this family of inserts and is part of a broader series that simplifies grade matching for different non-ferrous alloys. The designation includes the chipbreaker code and geometry, making selection straightforward for process planners: specify the Trigon 80° form, chipbreaker D57, and WAK15 grade for aluminium-focused operations. For bespoke applications or mixed-material batches, Metav Werkzeuge can advise on optimal cutting data and holder compatibility to ensure the insert performs predictably across shifts.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The WOMX120608-D57 WAK15 insert is intended for aluminium and other non-ferrous metals, reflecting the N material group and the WAK15 grade optimised for such alloys.

How does the D57 chipbreaker affect machining performance?
The D57 chipbreaker on the insert promotes controlled chip formation and reduces the tendency for chips to adhere to the cutting edge, improving surface finish and reducing stoppages during aluminium machining.

Will the Trigon 80° shape improve hole accuracy?
The Trigon 80° geometry provides a stable cutting contact and reduced tool deflection, which supports improved hole accuracy and repeatable bore dimensions when used with a suitable toolholder.

What role does the 0.8 mm corner radius play?
A 0.8 mm corner radius balances edge strength and surface quality: it helps avoid edge chipping while contributing to a fine surface finish on non-ferrous workpieces.

Is the WOMX120608-D57 WAK15 compatible with standard indexable insert holders?
Yes; the insert conforms to common indexable insert formats for its shape and size, but verification of holder compatibility and clamping style is recommended before mounting.
