CNMG160608-MK5 WKK10S — Tiger‑tec Silver indexable turning insert for cast iron, Walter Tools

The CNMG160608-MK5 WKK10S is an indexable turning insert designed for cast‑iron applications, combining a Tiger‑tec Silver coated carbide grade with an MK5 chipbreaker for short, controlled chips in heavy‑duty machining.

• Tiger‑tec Silver coated carbide
• MK5 chipbreaker for short chips
• Rhombic 80° form for robustness
• Suited for cast iron machining

Longer tool life through advanced coating technology

The combination of the Tiger‑tec Silver technology and the WKK10S grade produces a wear‑resistant surface that sustains cutting performance under abrasive conditions typical of cast iron. The coated carbide substrate reduces flank wear and improves resistance to thermal and mechanical stresses, which translates into longer tool life and fewer indexings during production. For production planning, this means improved process stability and reduced tool change frequency.

Consistent chip control minimises interruptions

The MK5 chipbreaker is optimised for broken, short chips commonly produced when turning cast iron. Short, repeatable chips reduce the risk of entanglement and improve evacuation from the cutting zone, which supports uninterrupted machining and safer handling. The controlled chip form also contributes to a more stable cutting temperature and consistent surface finish on the workpiece.

Geometry that balances strength and surface quality

The rhombic 80° shape with a 0.8 mm corner radius and a negative 0° rake designation offers a robust cutting edge suited to both medium and heavy cuts while delivering reliable dimensional control. The insert geometry favours edge stability and supports fine finishing passes where surface integrity matters. Where higher material removal rates are required, the geometry helps maintain cutting edge integrity under increased loads.

Application guidance and process fit

Designed for cast‑iron machining in accordance with ISO group K, this indexable insert fits standard CNMG holders and is suitable for a range of turning operations from roughing to finishing when paired with appropriate cutting data. The WKK10S grade provides a balance of abrasion resistance and toughness, making it a practical choice for workshops seeking repeatable results across a variety of cast‑iron components. For tailored cutting parameters, consult Metav Werkzeuge to align insert choice, holder, and machining conditions with production goals.
