CNMG160612-MK5 WKK10S — Turning indexable insert, Tiger‑tec Silver for cast iron (Walter Tools)

CNMG160612-MK5 WKK10S is a turning indexable insert designed for robust machining of cast iron, featuring a Tiger‑tec Silver coating and an MK5 chipbreaker for reliable chip control.

• Tiger‑tec Silver coating for high wear resistance
• Optimised MK5 chipbreaker for controlled chips
• Rhombic 80° form for versatile turning
• 1.2 mm corner radius for stable cutting edges

Increased productivity for abrasive cast‑iron work

The Tiger‑tec Silver grade WKK10S is formulated to resist the abrasive wear typical of cast iron machining, delivering consistent edge life under demanding conditions. The combination of a coated carbide substrate and the MK5 chipbreaker reduces the risk of built‑up edge and improves chip fragmentation, which leads to fewer interruptions for chip clearing and a more productive machining cycle. This makes the insert a pragmatic choice where surface finish and tool longevity must be balanced in repetitive turning tasks.

Stable geometry for dependable process results

A rhombic 80° plate form with a 1.2 mm corner radius and negative rake 0° geometry provides a predictable cutting behaviour and a robust cutting edge, suited to the short, brittle chips of cast materials. The insert's tolerance class M supports repeatable seating in standard toolholders, aiding process stability and interchangeability. These geometric characteristics translate into lower vibration, steady tool life and consistent component quality across production batches.

Simple specification and efficient integration

The CNMG format and the clear designation CNMG160612-MK5 WKK10S match common turret and toolholder systems, enabling straightforward inventory and rapid replacement during tool changes. The coated cemented‑carbide construction from the Tiger‑tec Silver series combines abrasion resistance with a degree of toughness for variable cast‑iron grades, helping to reduce secondary operations and downtime. For workshops seeking reproducible results, this insert supports standardisation of toolsets while maintaining cutting performance in daily turning applications.
