Consistent productivity through optimised coating and grade

The combination of the Tiger·tec Silver coating and the WKP35S grade delivers enhanced wear resistance and thermal stability during interrupted and continuous milling of ISO groups P (steel) and K (cast iron). This coated carbide technology is tailored to withstand the abrasive characteristics of cast iron and the heat common when machining steels, resulting in extended edge life and fewer unscheduled tool changes. The outcome is measurable: longer productive intervals and a more predictable tool-cost profile.

Geometry that stabilises cutting and improves surface quality

The parallelogram 85° plate form with a 15° relief angle creates a stable cutting engagement that reduces radial forces and vibration in many milling set-ups. The specified corner radius 5 increases edge robustness, improving tool life when machining interrupted cuts or roughing passes, while supporting a consistent surface finish on the workpiece. Together, these geometric features aid in achieving repeatable results and simplify process planning for CNC programmes.

Practical dimensions and handling for efficient tool management

With a nominal size of 16 and plate thickness 06, the insert fits common milling cutter bodies and supports multi-edge indexing for economical use of cutting edges. The F56 chipbreaker is optimised for controlled chip segmentation in mixed workpiece batches, which reduces toolholder cleaning and machine downtime. The insert's indexable nature allows quick replacement and immediate return to production, making it suitable for job shops and serial production environments seeking fast throughput.

Proven brand performance and application guidance

Walter Tools' Tiger·tec Silver line is recognised for stable chip formation and broad material coverage; the WKP35S variety is a coated carbide class engineered specifically for durable performance on steel and cast iron. For customers aiming to balance productivity and tool life, this insert provides a reliable option that supports consistent process windows and surface quality. Application parameters should be selected according to cutter diameter, depth of cut and machine rigidity to exploit the insert's full potential.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The ADMT160650R-F56 WKP35S insert is engineered for ISO groups P (steel) and K (cast iron), exploiting the Tiger·tec Silver coating and WKP35S grade for stable performance on these materials.

How does the insert geometry affect machining stability?
The parallelogram 85° form combined with a 15° relief reduces radial loads and helps stabilise cutting action, while the corner radius 5 enhances edge strength for interrupted cuts and improves surface finish consistency.

Is this a multi-edge indexable insert?
Yes; the insert is indexable and designed for multi-edge use in suitable milling cutter bodies, allowing economical edge changes and reduced inventory cost per usable cutting edge.

Which chipbreaker does the insert use and what is its benefit?
The insert features the F56 chipbreaker, which aids controlled chip segmentation when machining mixed steel and cast iron batches, improving machining reliability and reducing manual chip handling.

Can Metav Werkzeuge provide application data for this insert?
Metav Werkzeuge can supply recommended cutting parameters and help match the ADMT160650R-F56 WKP35S to cutter bodies and machining conditions to ensure optimised performance.
