Walter P6006 is suited for holemaking without pilot drilling up to 10xD

Walter has expanded the range for its P6006 indexable inserts for exchangeable-tip drills. The inserts can be used in all exchangeable-tip drills D4140, D4240, and D4340. Drilling from solid material and stacked plate (laminate) drilling is possible with the D4140 indexable drill insert.

The primary application for the inserts is drilling low carbon, or unalloyed steels (ISO P workpiece group), specifically with low hardness range of 300HB or lower. The secondary application is for drilling non-ferrous metals (ISO N workpiece group). Areas of use include the general mechanical engineering, energy, automotive and aerospace industries.

Suited for holemaking without a pilot drill up to 10xD in unalloyed, low carbon steels, low-alloy steels and non-ferrous alloys. The inserts were designed with wear resistant WPP25 grade with HIPIMS technology. The grade has a particularly hard and robust substrate to extend tool life.

The inserts feature a new type of geometry with a 140-degree point angle. The sharp cutting edge in connection with a positive rake angle reduces cutting forces. The tools also feature the signature 100-degree prismatic base for the contact point in the body and a corner-protection chamfer. Walter offers the P6006 indexable drill inserts for diameters of 12.00 to 37.99 mm (0.472 to 1.496 in.).
