Walter 5055716 Milling Insert ADHT1606PER-G88 WXN15 Carbide

Product Description

The WALTER 5055716 is a solid carbide milling insert carrying ANSI and ISO designation ADHT1606PER-G88 WXN15. It features a parallelogram shape with an 85-degree included angle, a positive rake geometry at 20 degrees, and a PVD-applied TiCN coating designed for cutting non-ferrous metals. The WXN15 grade is suited for high-speed milling applications where sharp cutting edges and low cutting forces are critical. With two cutting edges per insert, the 5055716 delivers reliable performance in precision milling operations performed by machinists and tooling professionals working in metalworking and manufacturing environments.

This insert is intended for milling non-ferrous materials including aluminum alloys and other N-grade workpiece materials. It is a right-hand insert with a sharp cutting edge style and a G88 chip breaker configuration. The screw-in holding method provides secure seating in compatible milling cutter bodies. Typical applications include face milling, shoulder milling, and high-feed operations on non-ferrous workpieces in both production and job-shop settings. Compatible cutter series include F2010, F4042, and F4238.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction with PVD TiCN coating for wear resistance in non-ferrous applications
• Positive rake angle of 20 degrees reduces cutting forces and heat generation
• Sharp cutting edge style optimized for clean, precise cuts in aluminum and non-ferrous metals
• G88 chip breaker design promotes effective chip evacuation during milling
• Two cutting edges per insert for extended tool life and lower cost per edge
• Right-hand orientation with screw-in mounting for secure, repeatable insert seating

Compatibility

Designed for use in WALTER milling cutter series F2010, F4042, and F4238. Conforms to ANSI and ISO standard designations ADHT1606PER-G88 WXN15 for cross-reference and replacement purposes.

Installation Notes

Insert installation and replacement should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician. Always power down and lock out the machine spindle before changing inserts. Use the appropriate torx or hex key to the cutter body manufacturer torque specification when seating the clamping screw - do not overtighten, as this can crack the insert. Inspect the pocket seat and clamping screw for wear or debris before installing a new insert.
