CNMQ120608-A57T WKP35S indexable milling insert — Tiger‑tec Silver, for steel and cast iron (Walter Tools)

The CNMQ120608-A57T WKP35S is a rhombic 80° indexable milling insert engineered for productive machining of steel (P) and cast iron (K), combining a coated‑carbide substrate with a robust chipbreaker for consistent results.

• Tiger‑tec Silver coating
• WKP35S grade, coated carbide
• Rhombic 80° geometry
• 0° negative rake, 0.8 mm corner radius

Versatile material compatibility for fewer tool changes

The insert is designed for machining both steel and cast iron, corresponding to ISO material groups P and K; this broad compatibility reduces tool inventory and simplifies process planning. The substrate and coating combination, optimised for the thermal and abrasive demands of these groups, enables predictable chip formation and extended service intervals. Presented material capabilities allow planners to consolidate operations where previously multiple grades were required, improving workflow efficiency.

Coating and grade that extend tool life and stability

The Tiger‑tec Silver coating together with the WKP35S grade creates a wear‑resistant surface that preserves the cutting edge under typical milling loads. The coated‑carbide construction is tailored to resist abrasion and maintain edge stability, which translates into longer effective tool life and fewer unscheduled tool changes. For production environments where uptime and consistent part quality matter, this combination supports higher productivity and reduced overall tooling costs.

Geometry engineered for robust cutting performance

The rhombic 80° shape and the 0° negative rake contribute to a mechanically strong cutting edge that tolerates heavier cuts and interrupted milling. The 0.8 mm corner radius balances edge strength with surface finish, making the insert suitable for a range of finishing and semi‑finishing passes. The integrated A57T chipbreaker promotes controlled chip evacuation, which reduces the risk of recutting and helps maintain surface integrity on the workpiece.

Process reliability and practical application guidance

The insert’s construction supports stable cutting under varying conditions, providing predictable tool behaviour and repeatable results across batch runs. For process integration, the designation and series data serve as a direct basis for tooling lists and CAM setup parameters. For tailored recommendations on grade selection, toolholder pairing or cutting parameters, Metav Werkzeuge offers consultative support and can assist with optimisation for specific machine and workpiece combinations.
