Walter 6154556 Indexable Drill Insert WXP40 7mm

Product Description

The WALTER 6154556 is a solid carbide indexable drill insert designed for use in indexable drill bodies across demanding metal-cutting applications. Manufactured under the Tiger Tec series, this insert carries the WXP40 grade with a PVD coating process, delivering wear resistance suited to interrupted and continuous cuts. The insert features a square shape with four cutting edges, a 7.00 mm inscribed circle (0.2756 inches), and a 0.40 mm corner radius. It conforms to both ANSI and ISO standards and is compatible with insert size code 48. This is a precision-ground cutting tool intended for installation by machining professionals and toolroom technicians.

This insert is engineered for right-hand cutting direction and is optimized for use on stainless steel and steel workpiece materials, covering material grades P40, M30, and S30. The E57 chipbreaker geometry supports chip control across a range of feed and depth-of-cut conditions common in production drilling. Typical applications include hole-making operations on CNC machining centers and turning centers where indexable drill tooling is used. The ISO code for this insert is P4841C-3R-E57 WXP40, which can be used to cross-reference compatible drill body holders.

Compatibility

Designed for use in indexable drill bodies that accept insert size code 48, square-style inserts with a 7.00 mm inscribed circle. The ISO code P4841C-3R-E57 WXP40 should be used to confirm holder compatibility. Intended for right-hand cutting direction drill bodies only.

Installation Notes

Indexable drill inserts are installed and indexed by machining technicians or toolroom personnel. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before indexing or replacing inserts. Use the appropriate torx or insert-clamping wrench specified by the drill body manufacturer to achieve correct seating torque. Inspect the insert pocket and clamping screw for wear or damage before seating a new insert.
