DCMT11T304-MK4 WKK10S turning insert — Walter Tools, Tiger·tec Silver, for cast iron

The DCMT11T304-MK4 WKK10S is a coated indexable turning insert designed for productive machining of cast iron components using a rhombic 55° geometry.

• Tiger·tec Silver coating for long tool life
• Optimised for cast iron machining
• Rhombic 55° geometry with 0.4 mm radius
• MK4 chipbreaker for controlled chip flow

Increased productivity through a wear-resistant grade

The combination of the Tiger·tec Silver coating and the WKK10S grade delivers pronounced wear resistance when cutting cast iron, reducing flank wear and extending tool life. This grade is a coated carbide formulation optimised for abrasive cast materials, offering a favourable balance between durability and toughness. As a result, production runs achieve longer uninterrupted cycles and reduced tooling change frequency, which supports predictable throughput and lower process costs over time.

Geometry and chip control for consistent surface quality

The insert’s rhombic 55° shape and 0.4 mm corner radius produce a stable cutting edge that promotes dimensional consistency and a reliable surface finish. The MK4 chipbreaker is engineered to control short, breaking chips typical of cast-iron machining, improving evacuation and reducing the risk of built-up edge. The 7° clearance angle contributes to smooth engagement and helps prevent rubbing under varying feed and depth conditions, which leads to improved part quality and repeatability.

Application advantages and process guidance for turning cast iron

Engineered specifically for cast-iron applications, this indexable insert suits both serial production and jobbing workshops seeking process security. The coated grade and chipbreaker combination ensure predictable wear progression and stable cutting forces, simplifying parameter selection and reducing rework. For customers seeking tailored process settings or verification against existing toolholders, Metav Werkzeuge offers technical consultation to match the insert to holders and machine capabilities so that cycle times and surface results are optimised.
