DNMG150608-MK5 WKK10S indexable turning insert – Walter Tools, Tiger·tec Silver, for cast iron machining

DNMG150608-MK5 WKK10S is an indexable turning insert designed for economical, high-productivity cutting of cast iron components in industrial turning applications

• Tiger·tec Silver series for extended tool life
• WKK10S grade optimised for cast iron machining
• MK5 chipbreaker for controlled chip formation
• Rhombus 55° geometry with 0.8 mm corner radius

Built for reliable chip control and stable productivity

The combination of the MK5 chipbreaker and the Tiger·tec Silver coating delivers stable, repeatable chip formation when turning abrasive cast iron materials. The insert’s geometry, a rhombus 55° shape with a small 0.8 mm corner radius, helps maintain cutting-edge integrity and reduces vibration in interrupted cuts. For production environments this translates into fewer tool changes and longer uninterrupted cycle times, which supports a more efficient machining process and predictable operating costs.

Precision geometry that eases set-up and improves surface finish

With a negative rake of 0° and the robust cutting edge provided by the WKK10S coated carbide grade, the insert offers secure edge strength for heavy and medium cutting operations in the K-material group (cast iron). Negative geometry increases tool stability under load, making it suitable for roughing passes where toughness is required. The defined form and consistent corner radius aid surface quality control, reducing rework and post-process finishing while retaining stable dimensional results.

Material focus and application advantages

Engineered specifically for cast iron (ISO K), the coated cemented carbide composition of this grade balances abrasion resistance with toughness to handle the typically short, brittle chips of cast materials. The Tiger·tec Silver technology contributes to thermal and wear resistance, which is particularly beneficial when machining abrasive grades of cast iron. Where predictable tool life and process consistency are priorities, this insert supports a productive workflow and reliable results across serial production and demanding single-part runs.
