• Suitable for steel (P) and cast iron (K)

Consistent cutting performance for demanding steels and cast iron

The combination of the WKP35S grade and Tiger·tec Silver coating delivers a stable cutting edge adapted to the thermal and abrasive loads typically encountered when machining steel and cast iron. The coated carbide substrate improves wear resistance and reduces friction, which contributes to longer service intervals and fewer tool changes. This results in measurable productivity gains where repeatable component quality and uptime are priorities.

Controlled chip formation and reliable surface quality

The integrated chipbreaker F57 is engineered to produce predictable, short chips under the typical cutting conditions for P and K material groups. Short, well managed chips reduce the risk of surface damage and machine interruptions. Combined with the 0.4 mm corner radius, the geometry supports good edge strength while allowing fine surface finishes on bore and reaming operations. These features make the insert particularly suitable where process reliability and consistent part tolerances matter.

Geometry and specification that reduce machining variability

A 7° clearance angle and rectangular plate form provide a stable seating and defined cutting engagement, lowering vibration sensitivity in many bores and enlargements. The plate thickness T2, size 06 and tolerance class G support precise insert positioning and predictable tool behaviour. For shops seeking to standardise operations, the defined geometry simplifies tool setup and reduces trial-and-error when transferring programs between machines.

Practical benefits: fewer interruptions, easier planning

By selecting a Tiger·tec Silver grade with the WKP35S chemistry, workshops benefit from extended edge life and improved process security under mixed production loads. The insert’s execution and chip control reduce unplanned stoppages and make downstream handling easier, which helps to maintain flow in high-mix, low-volume or repetitive production environments. For customers requiring clarification on parameters or compatible holders, technical consultation can clarify best-practice feeds and speeds for specific alloys.

FAQ

What materials is this insert suitable for?
The LCGX06T204-F57 WKP35S insert is specified for steel (P) and cast iron (K) applications, using the WKP35S coated carbide to handle typical thermal and abrasive loads.

How does the chipbreaker F57 benefit machining?
The chipbreaker F57 promotes short, controlled chips during drilling and boring, lowering the risk of surface damage and machine interruptions when using the Walter Tools insert.

What does the 0.4 mm corner radius affect?
A 0.4 mm corner radius increases edge strength and helps achieve consistent surface finish in bore enlargements while balancing cutting forces for repeatable results.

Is this insert compatible with standard rectangular holders?
The rectangular plate form and specified T2 thickness make the insert compatible with holders designed for the LCGX06T204-F57 geometry; machine-specific holder selection should be confirmed for optimal performance.

Can the WKP35S grade be used for high-speed applications?
The Tiger·tec Silver technology improves wear resistance and thermal behaviour; however, recommended speeds and feeds depend on the specific steel or cast iron alloy and the machine setup—consult Metav Werkzeuge for tailored parameters.
