Maximise productivity with a wear‑resistant grade

The combination of the WKP35G grade and Tiger·tec Gold coating provides a robust, coated carbide solution that is developed for sustained cutting performance when machining steel and cast iron. The grade addresses the typical heat and abrasion found in these material groups, resulting in stable chip formation and longer intervals between index changes. For production environments aiming to reduce downtime and increase throughput, this insert offers a tangible efficiency advantage through improved edge life and consistent cutting behaviour.

Geometry that delivers consistent surface quality

The insert’s parallelogram 75° geometry and the specified 7° relief angle combine to deliver increased cutting edge support and predictable engagement with the workpiece. The 0.4 mm corner radius helps achieve a balance between a refined surface finish and corner strength, while the F55 chipbreaker ensures controlled chip formation and evacuation under varying cutting conditions. These geometric choices reduce chatter and contribute to repeatable results when a dependable surface quality is required across serial production.

Application range and economic benefits in daily use

Designed for the ISO groups P and K, the insert covers a broad scope of applications in turning operations involving steel and cast iron components. The grade’s wear resistance and the insert’s chip control capabilities lower overall tooling costs by extending the effective life of each index and by reducing scrap from poor chip behaviour. When paired with suitable cutting parameters and a stable toolholder, users can expect better process security and more consistent part tolerances—factors that support predictable production schedules and improved cost-efficiency.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The BCMT090304R-F55 WKP35G insert is designed for machining steel and cast iron (ISO groups P and K), with a grade tuned for the thermal and abrasive demands of these materials.

How does the Tiger·tec Gold coating improve performance?
The Tiger·tec Gold coating enhances wear resistance and thermal stability, which improves tool life and supports consistent cutting performance under production conditions.

What role does the F55 chipbreaker play?
The F55 chipbreaker controls chip shape and evacuation, reducing the risk of entanglement and promoting stable cutting forces for improved surface finish and tool life.

Which geometry features support rigidity?
The parallelogram 75° shape together with the 7° relief angle increases insert support in the toolholder, which helps to reduce vibration and maintain a stable cutting edge.

Is this insert suitable for finishing and semi-finish operations?
Yes. The combination of 0.4 mm corner radius and coated carbide grade makes it appropriate for finishing and semi-finishing where both surface quality and edge durability are required.
