Walter 6154590 Indexable Drill Insert WXP40 Tiger Tec

Product Description

The WALTER 6154590 is a solid carbide indexable drill insert in the Tiger Tec series, designed for high-performance drilling applications in steel and stainless steel. Carrying the WXP40 manufacturer grade and applied with a PVD coating process, this insert delivers consistent cutting performance across demanding material grades including P40, M30, and S30. The square insert geometry features four cutting edges and a 90-degree included angle, providing efficient stock removal with a 0.58 mm corner radius that helps manage edge load and surface finish. Licensed HVAC techs aside, this part is installed by machinists and tooling technicians working in CNC drilling operations.

This insert is suited for right-hand cutting operations in both steel and stainless steel workpieces. It conforms to both ANSI and ISO standards, making it compatible with toolholders designed to the ISO code P4841C-5R-E57. The chipbreaker designation is E57 and the insert style is P484, which defines the geometry interface for matching drill bodies. Typical applications include production drilling in job shops and manufacturing facilities where indexable tooling systems are used for consistent, repeatable hole quality.

Key Features

• Solid carbide substrate with PVD coating for extended wear resistance in steel and stainless steel
• Four cutting edges per insert for maximum indexable value before replacement
• E57 chipbreaker geometry controls chip evacuation during drilling
• Square shape with 90-degree included angle suits standard drill body pockets
• Tiger Tec series grade WXP40 rated for P40, M30, and S30 material groups
• Meets ANSI and ISO standards for broad toolholder compatibility

Compatibility

Designed for use in drill bodies accepting ISO code P4841C-5R-E57 inserts with insert size code 48 and insert style P484. Confirm toolholder specifications against ISO and ANSI insert seat requirements before installation.

Installation Notes

Insert replacement and indexing should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician with the machine fully powered down and in a locked-out state. Use the correct torque wrench and manufacturer-specified clamping hardware when seating the insert to ensure proper contact with the pocket. Inspect the insert pocket for wear or debris before installing a new cutting edge. Follow all applicable shop safety protocols and machine tool manufacturer guidelines during tooling changes.
