Walter 6154591 Indexable Drill Insert P48448E57 WXP40

Product Description

The WALTER 6154591 is a solid carbide indexable drill insert designed for use in indexable insert drills operating on stainless steel and steel workpieces. Carrying the WXP40 Tiger Tec grade with a PVD coating process, this insert delivers wear resistance and edge stability in demanding cutting applications. The square shape provides four usable cutting edges, extending tool life per insert. It features a 12.24 mm inscribed circle, a thickness of 0.192 inches, and a 0.71 mm corner radius. The E57 chipbreaker geometry supports chip control across a range of feed and depth conditions. Licensed machinists and CNC operators in job shops and production environments install these inserts as part of indexable drilling tooling systems.

This insert is suited for right-hand cutting operations in both residential shop and industrial production environments where stainless steel and steel are the primary workpiece materials. The P40, M30, and S30 material grades give it a workable range across ISO material groups P and M. The 90-degree included angle and square form factor make it compatible with standard P48 insert-style toolholders. It conforms to both ANSI and ISO standards, which simplifies cross-referencing with existing tooling inventories.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction with PVD coating for extended edge life on stainless steel and steel
• Four cutting edges per insert due to square shape, reducing per-edge tooling cost
• E57 chipbreaker geometry for controlled chip formation across varied feed rates
• WXP40 Tiger Tec grade rated for ISO P40, M30, and S30 material groups
• Right-hand cutting direction with 90-degree included angle
• Compliant with ANSI and ISO standards for broad toolholder compatibility

Compatibility

Designed for use in P48 insert-style indexable drill toolholders. ISO code P4841C-6R-E57 WXP40 and insert size code 48 can be used to cross-reference compatible tooling systems. Conforms to ANSI and ISO standards.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or CNC setup technicians. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before seating or replacing inserts. Use the appropriate torx or hex key specified by the toolholder manufacturer to secure the insert clamp screw - do not overtighten by feel alone; follow the toolholder manufacturer torque guidance. Inspect the insert pocket for debris or damage before seating a new insert to ensure proper seating and edge geometry.
