LCGX050203-F57 WKP35S — Drill/Reaming Indexable Insert, Tiger·tec Silver (Walter Tools)

The LCGX050203-F57 WKP35S is a rectangular drill/reaming indexable insert engineered for productive machining of steel and cast iron in demanding drilling and reaming operations

• Tiger·tec Silver coating for long tool life
• For machining steel and cast iron (P / K)
• 7° clearance angle for stable cutting
• Rectangular form with 0.3 mm corner radius

Increased productivity for steels and cast iron

The combination of the Tiger·tec Silver coating and the WKP35S cutting grade delivers improved wear resistance and consistent cutting performance when machining steels (P) and cast irons (K) as defined by ISO 513. The coated carbide substrate is optimised for the heat and chip forms typical of steel and for the abrasive nature and breakable chips common in cast iron, which reduces unplanned tool changes and keeps cycle times steady. By selecting a grade that balances toughness and abrasion resistance, machining windows can be widened, enabling higher cutting speeds or longer tool life without sacrificing component quality.

Stable cutting geometry for repeatable results

The insert’s 7° clearance angle and 0.3 mm corner radius provide a secure cutting edge that minimises vibration and flank wear during bore enlargement and reaming passes. The rectangular form and defined tolerance class support precise seating in toolholders, contributing to repeatable bore quality and surface finish. These geometric features reduce the risk of chatter and improve dimensional stability, which is especially relevant where concentricity and bore roundness are critical for downstream assembly.

Reliable chip control and process integration

Equipped with the F57 chipbreaker, this insert promotes predictable chip formation and evacuation in interrupted and continuous cuts common to drilling and reaming. The plate geometry (size 05, thickness 02) has been designed for secure clamping and efficient heat dissipation, enhancing tool life in serial production. Using a standard ISO designation simplifies tool management and replacement, allowing integration into existing tool systems without complex requalification procedures.

Practical advantages for workshop standardisation

The standardised ISO designation and clear material coding (P / K) make inventory management straightforward and support quicker tooling decisions on the shop floor. The insert’s balance of resilience and wear resistance reduces downtime from tool changes and supports a more economical machining process. When combined with appropriate holders and process parameters, the insert contributes to a stable production flow and measurable productivity gains.
