ZDGT150412R-K85 WXN15 Wendeplatten - Walter Tools

Precise machining of non‑ferrous materials benefits from the sharp WXN15 carbide grade combined with the K85 chipbreaker and a 15° free angle for clean chip evacuation and low built‑up edge; order the insert directly via Metav Werkzeuge or contact our consultants for application support.

ZDGT150412R-K85 WXN15 indexable milling insert — 15° free angle, Walter Tools

A ZDGT150412R-K85 WXN15 indexable milling insert designed for high‑quality machining of non‑ferrous materials such as aluminium, copper and Messing.

• Uncoated solid carbide grade WXN15
• 15° free angle for sharp engagement
• 1.2 mm corner radius for edge stability
• K85 chipbreaker for NE‑metal machining
• Walter N‑series for non‑ferrous applications

Consistent performance for non‑ferrous machining

The combination of the uncoated carbide composition and the WXN15 grade is configured for machining NE‑metals (non‑ferrous), delivering a balance between sharpness and wear resistance. The moderate 15° free angle reduces rubbing at the cutting edge, which helps to avoid material adhesion and preserves surface finish when working with aluminium and copper alloys. This geometry supports stable cutting behaviour in light to moderate depths of cut, translating into predictable cycle times and reduced rework.

Reliable chip control and edge life

A dedicated K85 chipbreaker is integrated to promote controlled chip formation during shoulder milling and light pocketing operations. The controlled chip flow reduces the risk of chip jamming and improves evacuation from the tool path, which in turn enhances process reliability. The corner radius of 1.2 mm provides a compromise between edge strength and the ability to maintain sharp engagement, increasing the insert’s resistance to microchipping under intermittent cuts.

Material and grade explained for easier selection

The insert is manufactured in an uncoated carbide grade tailored for non‑ferrous workpieces; the absence of coating helps to maintain a razor‑sharp cutting edge and minimises heat retention when machining softer metals. For shops seeking a predictable, sharp‑edged solution for aluminium, copper and Messing, this grade offers consistent tool life and good surface integrity. The specification conforms to the Walter N‑grade series philosophy of productivity and broad material coverage.

Practical application and process guidance

For best results, use the insert in stable toolholders and ensure adequate chip evacuation, particularly on longer tool overhangs. The combination of the K85 chipbreaker and the 15° geometry supports higher feed per tooth values typical for non‑ferrous milling while minimising built‑up edge. When switching from coated grades, expect an initial improvement in finish on soft alloys; process windows should be validated on representative parts before full production runs.

FAQ

What materials is the ZDGT150412R-K85 WXN15 suitable for?
The ZDGT150412R-K85 WXN15 insert is designed for NE‑metals, specifically aluminium, copper and Messing, where a sharp, uncoated cutting edge is advantageous.

Is the WXN15 grade coated or uncoated?
The WXN15 grade used in this insert is an uncoated carbide formulation optimised for sharp edges and reduced adhesion on non‑ferrous alloys.

Which chipbreaker does the insert use and why?
This insert features the K85 chipbreaker, which promotes controlled chip formation and reliable evacuation when milling non‑ferrous materials.

What does the 15° free angle mean for machining?
A 15° free angle reduces rubbing at the flank and supports a cleaner cutting action on soft alloys, enhancing surface finish and limiting built‑up edge during operations.

Can the insert handle interrupted cuts?
The 1.2 mm corner radius gives the insert enhanced edge stability for light interrupted cuts common in face milling and shoulder milling of non‑ferrous components.
