Walter 5043184 Milling Insert ADMT160608R-D56 WAK15

Product Description

The WALTER 5043184 is a solid carbide milling insert carrying the ANSI/ISO designation ADMT160608R-D56 WAK15. It features a parallelogram shape with an 85-degree included angle, a right-hand cutting orientation, and a positive rake geometry with a 10-degree rake angle. The cutting edge is honed and coated via CVD with a TiCN, Al2O3, and TiN multilayer stack - the WAK15 grade designation that targets cast iron machining. With two cutting edges per insert and a screw-type holding method, this insert is suited for productive face and shoulder milling operations performed by machinists and CNC toolroom technicians.

This insert is engineered primarily for cast iron workpiece materials (ISO material group K, material grade K15). It fits the ADMT insert series and is compatible with WALTER cutter bodies from the F2010, F4042, and F4238 series. The D56 chip breaker geometry supports controlled chip formation in gray and ductile cast iron applications across both roughing and semi-finishing passes. It conforms to ANSI and ISO insert standards under the ADMT160608R-D56 designation.

Key Features

• CVD multilayer coating: TiCN, Al2O3, and TiN for wear resistance in cast iron cutting
• WAK15 grade - optimized for ISO K15 cast iron material group
• Positive rake geometry with honed cutting edge for reduced cutting forces
• D56 chip breaker for predictable chip control in cast iron milling
• Two cutting edges per insert, single-sided, right-hand orientation
• Screw-type insert holding method for secure seating in compatible cutter bodies

Compatibility

Compatible with WALTER cutter series F2010, F4042, and F4238. Designed as an OEM-specification replacement or replenishment insert for toolholders accepting ADMT series inserts per ANSI and ISO standards.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machining professionals using appropriate torx or hex key drivers as specified by the cutter body manufacturer. The machine spindle must be locked and all energy sources isolated before seating or changing inserts. Ensure the insert pocket is clean and free of chips or debris before seating to prevent rocking or premature edge failure. Do not exceed the maximum depth of cut rating for the cutter body in use.
