ZDGT150408R-K85 WXN15 Walter Tools — indexable milling insert for non‑ferrous metals, 15° relief

The ZDGT150408R-K85 WXN15 is an indexable milling insert engineered for efficient machining of non‑ferrous materials such as aluminium, copper and brass.

• Uncoated carbide WXN15 for non‑ferrous metals
• K85 chipbreaker for controlled chip formation
• 15° relief angle with 0.8 mm corner radius
• Walter N‑series for consistent edge quality

Sharper cutting edges that reduce material build‑up

The combination of an uncoated carbide grade and a deliberately sharp geometry delivers lower adhesion when machining soft metals. The WXN15 grade is formulated for non‑ferrous applications, meaning the insert provides a clean cutting edge that reduces built‑up edge on aluminium and brass. This leads to fewer interruptions for tool dressing and more consistent part quality, which is particularly valuable in high‑mix or finishing operations.

Predictable chip control for improved surface finish

The dedicated K85 chipbreaker promotes controlled chip formation and evacuation, preventing long, stringy chips that can mar finishes or interfere with feeders. Together with the 15° relief angle and 0.8 mm corner radius, this geometry helps produce a stable cutting action that enhances repeatable surface quality and reduces the need for rework. In production terms, predictable chips translate into reduced cycle variability and a steadier process.

Consistent performance within the Walter N‑series

As part of the Walter N‑series, this indexable insert benefits from consistent manufacturing tolerances and grade selection, offering reliable edge life across batches. The uncoated design favours sharp cutting in non‑ferrous metals and supports applications where oxides or built‑up material would otherwise impair performance. The insert’s form factor and designation make it straightforward to match with common milling cutters used for precision finishing and profiling tasks.

Practical application notes for efficient integration

For best results, use insert clamping that secures a stable seat and check cutter run‑out before finishing passes. While the geometry suits sharp, uncoated cutting, appropriate feeds and speeds for each non‑ferrous alloy should be selected to avoid vibration and to maintain the desired surface finish. For tailored cutting data and compatibility with existing toolholders, consult Metav Werkzeuge’s technical advisors who can provide specific recommendations for process integration.
