CCMT09T304-FK6 WKK10S – Indexable turning and boring insert for cast iron, Tiger·tec Silver, Walter Tools

The CCMT09T304-FK6 WKK10S is an indexable turning and boring insert engineered for productive machining of cast iron, combining a dedicated chipbreaker and a coated carbide grade for dependable material removal.

• Tiger·tec Silver coating for wear resistance
• Optimised for cast iron (ISO K)
• 0.4 mm corner radius for stable cutting
• 7° clearance angle for versatile turning

Consistent performance for abrasive cast iron work

The coated carbide grade WKK10S, part of the Tiger·tec Silver family, is formulated for the specific demands of cast iron machining. Its coating technology increases resistance to abrasive wear and heat, which translates into longer tool life and fewer interruptions for insert changes. In practice this means more predictable cycle times and improved process stability when machining short, breaking chips typical of cast materials. The insert’s FK6 chipbreaker is matched to these chip characteristics, promoting controlled chip formation and safe evacuation during turning and boring operations.

Technical design that supports precision and surface finish

With a 0.4 mm corner radius and a 7° clearance angle, the geometry balances edge strength and the ability to produce stable cutting lines. The Rhombus 80° plate shape provides a versatile cutting edge orientation for both external turning and boring or facing passes, while the plate thickness T3 ensures rigidity under moderate cutting loads. These design choices reduce vibration and support higher feed rates without compromising the targeted surface quality, making the insert suitable for industrial production runs where repeatability matters.

Practical benefits and process efficiency

Specifying this insert helps to lower tooling costs per part by extending insert life through improved wear behaviour and optimised chip control. The combination of a coated grade and a dedicated chipbreaker reduces flank wear and the risk of built-up edge, which in turn maintains dimensional accuracy over longer tool-life windows. For operations focused on throughput and low variance, the insert supports stable toolpaths and predictable regrinding or indexing intervals, aiding in leaner setup strategies and less scrap.

FAQ

Which materials is this insert suited to?
The CCMT09T304-FK6 WKK10S is specifically designed for cast iron (ISO group K); the grade and chipbreaker respond well to the abrasive, brittle nature of these materials.

What performance advantages does the Tiger·tec Silver coating provide?
The Tiger·tec Silver coating on this grade improves resistance to abrasive wear and heat, resulting in longer insert life and more consistent cutting performance in cast iron applications.

How does the FK6 chipbreaker affect machining?
The FK6 chipbreaker promotes controlled, short chip formation typical for cast iron, easing chip evacuation and reducing the risk of entanglement or surface damage.

Can this insert be used for both turning and boring operations?
Yes, the rhombic geometry and the 7° clearance angle allow the insert to be used effectively in external turning and in boring or face-turning tasks where the cutting edge orientation and stability are appropriate.
