WCMX 06T308 indexable insert – design and applications

80° trigon, drilling design, grade PHC 6920

The WCMX 06T308 carbide insert is a replaceable cutting insert for indexable drills, also called U-drills. It is mounted in a pocket in the steel drill body, which replaces several solid carbide drills. A typical indexable drill uses two inserts — central and peripheral — serving as cutting edges on the tool face. Use CVD-coated grade PHC 6920 exclusively in the peripheral position; for the central position, select a tougher PVD grade specified by the drill manufacturer. Shape W denotes a trigon with a 80° corner angle, while the letter X indicates a special design with drilling geometry. The insert is made of cemented carbide in CVD-coated grade PHC 6920, intended for ISO groups P, M, and K; the P20-P45 range applies to machining steel and cast steel. The mounting hole diameter of 3.7 millimeters and corner radius of 0.80 millimeters are selected for operation in a drill body, not a turning tool holder.

Key advantages of the insert for indexable drills

  • Three cutting edges — the single-sided W 80° trigon provides three working corners.
  • CVD-coated grade PHC 6920 — for steel and cast steel (P20-P45), stainless steel, and cast iron; it operates in the peripheral position in the drill.
  • Hole d1 3.7 mm — facilitates locating the insert in its designated pocket in the drill body.
  • The rε 0.80 mm corner radius combines edge strength with consistent chip flow during drilling.
  • Type X design adapted for operation in a drill body, not a turning tool holder.
  • The replaceable insert allows the working edge to be renewed without replacing the entire drill body.

Applications and selection of drilling parameters

The WCMX 06T308 insert for indexable drills is suitable for drilling holes in structural steel, cast steel, stainless steel, and cast iron. Calculate drill rotational speed using the formula n = 1000·Vc/(π·D). For a drill with a diameter of 30 millimeters and a cutting speed of Vc = 60 meters per minute, the result is approximately 636 rpm. Select feed for the material group from the cutting data table, maintaining steady tool movement for consistent chip breaking. Drill on a machine with stable guidance, without stopping the feed while the tool is in the material.

The center and peripheral inserts may have the same ISO code, but do not necessarily have the same grade or chip breaker geometry. Use the CVD-coated PHC 6920 variant only as a peripheral insert, and select a tougher PVD grade for the center as specified in the catalog data sheet for the drill system. Drilling depth is standardized as a multiple of diameter, and a reasonable range for a typical indexable drill extends to about four diameters. The flutes in the body evacuate chips, while the coolant channels deliver cutting fluid directly to the cutting zone, reducing the cutting edge temperature and facilitating chip removal from deep holes.

Application limitation

Insert WCMX 06T308 is a drilling insert — do not use it in a turning tool or milling head. Grade PHC 6920 CVD is intended exclusively for the peripheral position; use a tougher PVD grade specified by the drill manufacturer in the center.

Frequently asked questions about the WCMX 06T308 insert

installation, drill selection, and drilling parameters

It is a replaceable insert for indexable drills (U-drill), mounted in a pocket in the steel body. Shape W is a trigon with an included corner angle of 80°, and the mounting hole has a diameter of 3.7 mm. The insert is not intended for turning or milling.

Grade PHC 6920 is carbide with a coating of CVD for steel and cast steel in the range P20-P45, and the product sources also confirm stainless steel and cast iron. Use it only in the peripheral position of the drill.

Use the formula n = 1000·Vc/(π·D). For a drill Ø30 mm at a cutting speed of Vc = 60 m/min the result is approximately 636 rpm. A smaller diameter requires a higher rotational speed, while a larger diameter requires a lower speed.

Despite having the same ISO code, they are functionally different inserts. Use PHC 6920 CVD grade only as a peripheral insert; select a tougher PVD grade for the center position as specified in the drill system catalog data sheet.
