DCMT070204-MK4 WKK10S — Drehwendeschneidplatte for cast iron, Tiger‑tec Silver, Walter Tools

DCMT070204-MK4 WKK10S is a rhombic 55° turning insert designed for efficient machining of cast iron components with optimised chip control and robust edge life

• Tiger‑tec Silver coated grade WKK10S
• Optimised MK4 chip control
• Suited for cast iron machining
• 0.4 mm corner radius for durability

High‑productivity cast iron turning with durable coating

The Tiger‑tec Silver grade focuses on abrasive‑wear resistance, making it particularly suitable for components produced from cast iron. The specialised coating and substrate combination in this family reduce flank wear under heavy interrupted cuts and abrasive workpiece surfaces. For production environments that demand consistent tool life, the WKK10S grade offers a predictable wear curve, which helps planners estimate insert change intervals and maintain stable cycle times. The result is measurable uptime improvement in medium‑ to high‑volume turning operations.

Reliable chip control that stabilises process performance

The MK4 chipbreaker is engineered to produce short, breaking chips typical of cast iron machining, lowering the risk of chip entanglement and enabling safer, unattended production runs. Improved chip control reduces rework and minimises machine downtime caused by chip jams. In practical terms, this means smoother handling at the tool‑holder interface and less time spent on manual chip removal, contributing directly to productivity and operator safety.

Geometry tuned for precision and edge security

The insert’s Rhombus 55° form and 7° clearance deliver a versatile cutting geometry that supports a wide range of turning operations, from profiling to light roughing on cast iron. The 0.4 mm corner radius gives a balance between edge strength and achievable surface finish, while the plate size code 07 and thickness code 02 suit small to medium toolholders requiring compact yet stable inserts. The ISO designation DCMT070204-MK4 WKK10S combines geometry, chipbreaker and grade information in one clear identifier for toolroom selection and inventory control.

Walter Tools quality for repeatable results in production

As part of a recognised tooling portfolio, these inserts bring product reliability and consistent machining behaviour to the shop floor. The combination of a stable substrate, Tiger‑tec Silver coating and a dedicated chipbreaker supports long tool life and repeatable surface integrity on cast iron workpieces. For engineering teams aiming to reduce process variance and ensure component conformity, this insert provides an economical route to robust turning performance.
